Ceanothus ‘Tuxedo’ California Lilac

Oh-La-La! ‘Tuxedo’ California Lilac is lust-worthy with sexy deep purple-black, glossy foliage and bright green stems. This large evergreen shrub looks great year-round making it an excellent choice for a screen, back of a border or feature plant. Unlike most Ceanothus ‘Tuxedo’ blooms in fall with purple flowers that contrast beautifully against the dark foliage. Another departure from other ceanothus varieties… Tuxedo seems happiest in a part afternoon shade location. A pollinators dream for late season sips. Very drought tolerant once established. Watch for powdery mildew. Evergreen. Growing 6-8ft tall and wide. Hardy in zones 8-10
