Ceanothus ‘Better Than Ray Hartman’, Better Than Ray Hartman Lilac
Out of stock
A great choice if you have room for a larger lilac species, this spectacular selection was discovered in Sonoma. It’s believed that this plant is an existing cultivar, but none of the Ceanothus experts have been able to reach a consensus on exactly which one, hence the peculiar name referencing a selection which it resembles.
Masses of rich, blue-purple flowers held in large sprays cover the plant in spring, attracting bees and butterflies. The seeds that follow feed an array of birds. Reaches 10 to15 ft. tall and wide with larger, deep-green, rounded leaves. Plant in full sun to light shade and water occasionally or less once established. Deer do browse ceanothus so protect when young.
