‘Yankee Point’ Ceanothus from seed
This Ceanothus has been produced from the seed of the cultivar ‘Yankee Point’. ‘Yankee Point’ is an evergreen sub-shrub. Growing to 4 feet tall and 10 feet wide, this low shrub’s shiny leaves, dense form and graceful habit make it an attractive bank cover. Space 6-8′ apart.
It is a rapid spreader and sprinkled with medium-blue flower clusters in April-May. This coastal selection is from Monterey County. It has a more compact habit, darker foliage and flower color, and better heat tolerance than other available cultivars.
Cultivars from seeds are no longer identified under the cultivar name but will maintain many of the characteristics.
