Retail listings 2012 by USDA zone, as of April 5 - please check for current availability Ceanothus 'Blue Jeans' Reliable hybrid blue bush. Long used but not often available. Strangely more commonly offered in the United Kingdom than in the western US. 4 ft sprays of 1/2" scalloped and rounded leaves with faded blue flowers from March through May and occasionally through the rest of the year should no hard frosts occur. Can reach 8-10 ft wide but easily trimmed. This cultivar is long-lived if given mineral soil and free drainage with bright light. Best in a pot or kept extra dry in the Southeast, but only as an experiment. USDA zone 8 on the West Coast. 6in @ $12 Rhamnaceae Ceanothus 'Blue Sapphire' A new entry into the spectrum of California lilics, this low-growing shrub, with arching branches and, in spring, deep and brilliant blue flowers against dark foliage background, is the perfect plant for a border or a bank.

Introduced in the 1970s by plantsman Ken Taylor, one of its parents being the sturdy C. impressus. Great plant for the dry garden in full sun and welldrained soil with little summer water once established, perhaps only in extremely hot weather. Frost hardy in USDA zone 8. Said to be deer resistant. 1g @ $14, 2g @ $24, 5g @ $47 Rhamnaceae Ceanothus 'Joan Mirov' One of the best UC Berkeley selections by Roger Raiche.
