Editorial Reviews
Review
Valerie Easton Seattle Times : This is the first book since the 1940s to explore the range of ceanothus available and all their planting possibilities. Written by a botanist and a nurseryman, it's a welcome combination of plant listings and information on how to successfully cultivate ceanothus.
Tom Karwin Monterey County Herald : I found this book to be an excellent resource. It includes clear and practical information about each of a long list of Ceanothus species, selections, and hybrids that are best suited for cultivation in residential landscapes.
Book Description
Though it has an unrivaled range of blue flowers and includes plants suitable for many gardening and landscaping situations, this North American native genus has long been underutilized. Its species range from Canada south through southern Mexico and from coast to coast, and there are forms from ground-hugging mats through shrubs to trees. A complete horticultural and botanical treatment of the genus aimed at both gardeners and botanists, this book finally gives Ceanothus—with so many plants that tolerate sun and shade, thrive in arid conditions, and bear a profusion of beautiful, fragrant flowers—the recognition it deserves.
