(New Jersey Tea or California Lilac) Marie Gold® Ceanothus is a fantastic early summer blooming shrub that features clusters of bright pink blooms atop glossy, golden green foliage. Once flowering has finished, showy red seed heads appear, extending the seasons of interest. The compact habit of Marie Gold® stands only 24-42" tall and creates a bushy well branched shrub. Ceanothus is a native shrub that grows well in part shade to full sun locations, and is drought tolerant once the shrub is established. Consider using Marie Gold® in mass, as a border, for structure or a flowering container specimen. Beauty attracts beauty so be on the lookout for butterflies. Marie Gold® Ceanothus blooms on new season growth and is a Proven Winners® ColorChoice® Flowering Shrub.
