California Lilac 'Puget Blue', Ceanothus impressus 'Puget Blue'
Regarded as one of the hardiest California Lilacs for gardens, award-winner Ceanothus ‘Puget Blue’ is a dense, rounded, evergreen shrub noted for its abundant sprays of luminous, lavender-blue flowers in late spring and early summer. They are produced in such quantities that they literally obscure the foliage. The blooms are borne on gracefully ascending, arching branches clad with small, narrow, dark green leaves. Ignored by hungry deer, this pretty shrub is a real magnet for birds, butterflies and hummingbirds. A deservedly popular Californian Lilac.
