Ceanothus gloriosus var. gloriosus

Pt Reyes Ceanothus An evergreen groundcover up to 1 foot high and 6-8 feet wide with blue flowers on small, dark green, holly-like foliage. Space 10-12 feet apart. Blooms in late winter and early spring. Planted near the coast, it’s a good tough ground cover, but it will not tolerate full sun or drought in the interior. It’s a fairly fast growing species. Deer don’t prefer this one but will eat it if starving (as is the case with most “deer resistant” plants). Great for a coastal slope planting or in back of a perennial bed.  One of best in beach sand. The significant value of this selection is in its dense habit and lustrous foliage.
