Description
Ceanothus tomentosus is an evergreen shrub that can reach 6-8 ft. (In the Sierra Nevada around Ione individuals reach 4-6 ft.). grows in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada from Mariposa north to Placer and in very small populations down to Baja. Companion plants are Quercus dumosa (Q. berberidifolia), Pinus sabiniana, Arctostaphylos myrtifolia, Baccharis pilularis, Rhamnus californica (Rhamnus tomentella ssp. tomentella), Eriodictyon californicum, Arctostaphylos viscida ssp. mariposa, A. manzanita, and Adenostoma fasciculatum. The Ione form occurs on red sandstone (with hard pan) to decomposed granite and is really cute. The populations in Southern California look like small wooly Ceanothus arboreus bush/tree. This California lilac is very distinct and beautiful. But it really has succinct garden/ecology requirements, and so far were as clueless as a dog in a flower show.
