Ceanothus thyrsiflorus var griseus 'Yankee Point'
Low spreading evergreen shrub with dense, trailing stems holding polished glossy green leaves. Clusters of abundant dusty white buds develop into china-blue flowers in late winter and spring contrast with the dark foliage. Hardy for most conditions, prefers sun and free draining soil. Grows natually in exposed coastal sites. Very effective ground cover.
