Ceanothus ‘Ray Hartman’ is a fast-growing, large evergreen shrub or small tree valued for its striking bright-blue flower spikes and glossy green foliage. Excellent for use as a large hedge, privacy screen, or feature plant. It requires full sun to very light dappled shade. Very low water use; needs little to no summer water after the first two years. It needs well-drained soil; tolerates sand, loam, and clay if planted on a slope. Verticillium Wilt-resistant. Moderate deer-resistance, young foliage browsing may occur. Cold hardy to 10°F.
