Description
Ceanothus
gloriosus Hearts Desire
was introduced by Cal Flora Nursery in Fulton. C. Heart's Desire is a Mountain Lilac that was found in the wild along the northern California coast in the area of Point Reyes. One of our customers had it growing in red clay and full sun in
Templeton's 100 degree weather. Heart's Desire will tolerate the
heat and sun, but needs some water to do it. We could not push it at
all in our unwatered planting experiments.
In coastal gardens Heart's Desire looks very good in those small streetside planting
strips into which nothing fits. They tolerate parking lot conditions well. Flood irrigation once a week, people walking through them. Dogs
watering them, garbage amongst them. Excellent sidewalk border, as long
as they are watered about once a week. In most of California, if water
rationing took place, these plants should live as long as they've had a
year or two to establish or they still get once a week water. In larger
gardens use as the interface with a lawn, in front of Arctostaphylos 'Sunset', Arctostaphylos franciscana, Ceanothus 'Yankee Point', Ceanothus maritmus or Salvia 'Gracias' to make a varied
low ground cover.
Tolerates gardens conditions better than most of the other Mountain
Lilacs.
