Notes

'Hartman' ceanothus (Ceanothus 'Hartman') is a shrub for borders, hedges, and pollinator gardens. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 9 and warmer, down to about 20°F (-7°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes full or part sun and dry to average, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Rabbits rarely make it their first choice. This evergreen tolerates drought and salt, and bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and birds visit it.

Pairs well with Lion's tail, Ice plant, and Valley oak.
