Notes
'Julia Phelps' ceanothus (Ceanothus 'Julia Phelps') is an evergreen shrub for borders, hedges, and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 8, or down to 10°F (-12°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to average, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Rabbits rarely make it their first choice. It grows about 71 to 94 inches tall and wide, so give it room. The fragrant blooms attract butterflies, bees, and birds.
Pairs well with California brittlebush, American century plant, and Pomegranate.
