A larger growing Ceanothus gloriosus cultivar than the typically seen Pt. Reyes. Anchor Bay grows 2-3 feet tall and spreads up to 6 feet wide. A great choice for large scale ground covers. Flowers are also more prolific than on Pt. Reyes and are a very cheery light blue in mid spring. A great nitrogen fixing and drought tolerant ground covering shrub!
