Ceanothus 'Far Horizons' - 'Far Horizons' Wild Lilac

Description

'Far Horizons' Wild Lilac is a beautiful mid-sized Ceanothus, with an attractive arching habit. It is a selection made by Dara Emery, the first horticulturalist at the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden and author of "Seed Propagation of Native California Plants." One of the earlier blooming Ceanothus, clear blue flowers cover the plant in late February into Spring. This shrub is adaptable to full or partial sun, though full sun is best by the coast. Its early flowering and light shade tolerance make an ideal companion for the Pink Flowered Currant. At the same time, I've found that it has tolerated life very well in one of the dryest and hottest parts of my garden!
