Ray Hartman Ceanothus |
Description
The 'Ray Hartman' is the most commonly grown tree variety. It rarely grows less than 15' tall in part shade, but often makes a broad shrub to 10' tall and 15' wide in full sun with restricted watering. Light burgundy buds appear in late winter and early spring, turning to spikes of medium blue flowers with a slight dusty or greyish cast. The smooth, rounded leaves form an excellent browse for deer. -Monterey Bay Nursery

Water Saving Tip:
Fix leaking sprinklers, valves, and pipes.
One broken spray sprinkler can waste 10 gallons per minute - or 100 gallons in a typical 10 minute watering cycle.
