Ray Hartman Ceanothus
A large growing Ceanothus hybrid of C. griseus and C. arboreus, this an excellent choice if you want a Ceanothus that grows as a large shrub or tree, a tree-anothus if you will. Stunning deep sky blue flowers absolutely cover the plant in late spring and are beloved by native pollinators. Can be pruned to have a distinct trunk and they’ve even been used as a street tree. Give this one a prominent spot and room to grow!
