Ceanothus
£30.00
Although it has an unrivalled range of blue flowers and includes plants suitable for many garden situations and conditions, 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.

Media Reviews
If it is possible for one book to give this genus the recognition it deserves, then 'mission accomplished'.
The authors of Ceanothus have achieved their goal of advancing the knowledge of the genus, creating a valuable resource for gardeners, landscapers, and botanists with an interest in this beautiful, versatile ... plant.
I have frequently been asked, by those who have encountered Ceanothus in their travels, what species could they grow where they live and where could they obtain it. This book will provide the proper responses.
