Ceanothus crassifolius is a robust evergreen shrub, more commonly known as the Hoary-leaved Ceanothus. Standing tall at 1-3 meters with a generous spread of 6-8 feet, this California native promises a year-round display of architectural beauty. The richly textured, veined leaves present a crisp dark green spectrum while boasting a signature white felted underside. From late winter to early spring, prepare to be captivated by clusters of delicate white to blue flowers bursting forth in a spectacular bloom. Equally appealing to butterflies and birds, this shrub serves as a versatile feast for our pollinating friends. Unfazed by adversity, this tough-as-nails specimen thrives in well-drained, dry soils and relishes basking in full to partial sun exposure. Low on maintenance and water requirement but high on impact, the Ceanthus crassifolius is the perfect choice for a spectacular yet sustainable garden.
