Pt Reyes Ceanothus

An evergreen groundcover 1-3 ft. high x 6-8 ft. wide with blue flowers on small, dark green, holly-like foliage.

Blooms in late winter and early spring. Planted near the coast, it’s a good tough ground cover, but it will not tolerate full sun or drought in the interior. It’s a fairly fast growing species. Deer don’t prefer this one but will eat it if starving (as is the case with most “deer resistant” plants).

Great for a coastal slope planting or in back of a perennial bed.  One of best in beach sand. The significant value of this selection is in its dense habit and lustrous foliage.
