Notes
'Concha' ceanothus (Ceanothus 'Concha') is a shrub for borders, hedges, and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 7, or down to 0°F (-18°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It is evergreen, fragrant, and drought tolerant, and it also tolerates salt. Deep blue to purple flowers draw butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first.
Pairs well with California poppy, Purple top, and Goldenrod.
