Description
Louis Edmunds Ceanothus is a mounding evergreen shrub, 3' X 6' that looks like a 'Carmel Creeper' on steroids. We use as large scale groundcover. If the edges are pruned the plant can become a hedge 6 ft. tall, 4X12 ft. in foot print. Louis Edmunds' has tip burned at 20 degrees F and froze to the ground at 0F. Deer candy, they will walk a block into town for this. The mother plant has grown here for years in full sun with no care or water until the deer found it. They have to climb a fence, cross a creek, walk through 100 ft. of watered nursery stock, cross 2 driveways and get within 30 ft. of two dogs(porch barkers, I'll admit) to eat this plant, but they killed it and a small cherry tree next to it. Use as a hedge row, very large groundcover, shrub-mound(instead of making mounds, plant one of these). Foliage is nice and deep green, flowers are a ok blue, but not show stoppers. The strength of the plant is its tolerance of clay, alkalinity, sand, wind, heat, sun, and water. Click here for more about Mountain Lilacs.
