*RETAIL - Ceanothus 'Oregon Mist'

One of the best new ceanothus introductions, this collected from near Cape Blanco on the Oregon coast by plantsmen Paul Bonine and Greg Shepherd. Though originally thought to be rather diminutive, our plants have grown to nearly 15ft in 6 years, so we now declare it a small tree adorned with delicate, 1/3” green glossy leaves and dusky blue flowers throughout the year in mild climates and especially in spring and fall with inland heat. When pruned into standards, the delightful green bark can be exposed, sure to elicit squeals of delight at your next open garden. Sun to light shade. Tolerant of some summer garden water but long lived and slower growing without water. Frost hardy in upper USDA zone 7, at least.
