Notes

'Remote Blue' ceanothus (Ceanothus 'Remote Blue') is a 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. It stays evergreen and has fragrant blooms that attract butterflies, bees, and birds. Rabbits tend to pass it by. It grows about 6 to 8 feet tall and wide, so give it room.

Pairs well with California brittlebush, Blue beaked yucca, Cape aloe, and Statice.
