Does best near coast, good in coastal valleys, ok inland if given a little afternoon shade and weekly sprinkles. Superior to Carmel Creeper(creepy).

Use Ceanothus Joyce Coulter', Snowball' or porrectus if the deer are hanging about waiting for lunch. Not as hardy as many other ceanothi, the container stock died at 15 deg.

This is a big and fast mountain lilac. VERY useful for large bank stabilization. Mix with a few Fremontias, Salvia Pozo Blue' a splash of Eriogonum fasciculatum, arborescens, or giganteum and a few live oaks. Plant on 10 ft. centers, it will usually be that big in 3 years. If you want fast fill in plant Salvias and Monkey flowers in between. Yankee Point Ceanothus will roll over them leaving color sticking out here and there in the sea of green.
