Ceanothus thyrsiflorus 'Victoria'

A plant first found in Victoria, BC, nicknamed California Lilac, and an absolute rock star in western Oregon, 'Victoria' is a tough and beautiful evergreen shrub, easily adapting to coastal conditions as well as xeriscapes. Shiny green leaves cover arching branches to form large shrubs four to eight feet tall and 10 to 12 feet wide. Late spring to early summer, cobalt-blue blooms will literally cover the foliage the older the plant gets. Those seeking durable year-round privacy screens with low water requirements need look no further than 'Victoria.' One caveat - ceanothuses do not like to be moved once established, so water regularly for the first year, then leave it alone.
