It's almost Ceanothus season!!! Annie says, "This handsome native shrub or small tree is attractive in so many respects: it requires little water to thrive, has lovely true-blue flowers, attracts bees, butterflies & birds, & has a lovely fragrance. It’s also evergreen, fast growing, long lived (in Ceanothus terms), heat tolerant, & low maintenance. 'Ray Hartman'."
