Ceanothus x pallidus 'Marie Simon'
Strong robust shrub with bright green leaves on colourful red stems. Deep rose coloured buds open to large clusters of pink flowers on red stems all through summer. Very bushy and pretty. Grows best in a sunny site with good soil, though does tolerate dry. Trim well at the end of the flowering season to maintain shape. Hardy.
