Ceanothus at Digging Dog
Including Ceanothus varieties Marie Simon and Gloire de Versailles
Ceanothus
Ceanothus x delileanus ‘Gloire de Versailles’
The large, glossy green foliage of this relaxed-looking Ceanothus creates an excellent foil for the profuse powdery blue flowers. More so than other species in the genus, this one will tolerate summer irrigation. Try it in the mixed border with white Lavender or yellow blooming Buddleja ‘Honeycomb’ and you’ll see why it came to be called the ‘Glory of Versailles’.
Blooms June–September. Size: 6' high x 6' wide; hardy to zone 6.
Ceanothus x delileanus Gloire de Versailles (S-0191) Each $9.00

Ceanothus x pallidus ‘Marie Simon’
New Jersey Tea
The heritage of this versatile hybrid is uncertain, but her reputation as a flirty, long blooming semi-evergreen is widespread. Amid speculation about an additional cross between x delileanus and the eastern species, Ceanothus ovatus, ‘Marie Simon’ is not adversely affected by summer watering, which is unusual for a Ceanothus.
Try planting her in the mixed border, where she flaunts a decidedly feminine display of fluffy rose-pink panicles and ornamental red seed capsules cushioned by wine-colored stems and long, serrated leaves.
Blooms June–October. Size: 5' high x 5' wide; hardy to zone 6. Ceanothus x pallidus Marie Simon (s-0246) Each $9.00
