Notes
'Victoria' ceanothus (Ceanothus 'Victoria') 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 average, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It stays evergreen and tolerates drought and salt. Butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds visit it. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything.
Pairs well with Henfield Brilliant rock rose, Mexican orange blossom, and Karl Foerster feather reed grass.
