CEANOTHUS “MOUNTAIN HAZE” 
An Introduction by Descanso that already 
is a ‘must’ in most Pacific Coast Nurseries 
This fine showy evergreen plant being a ‘‘native 
son’ is drought resistant—an important feature in 
the south these days. In growth it is naturally com- 
pact, holding its foliage clear to ground and can be 
used either as a garden specimen or easily con- 
trolled as a splendid hedge. The mass of blue flow- 
ers in the spring covers the plant from ‘‘head to 
toe’ creating a misty or hazy appearance resulting 
in its varietal name ‘‘Mountain Haze’’.

CEANOTHUS “SIERRA BLUE™ 
Another Descanso Introduction 
Here is a magnificent evergreen shrub and like its 
cousin ‘‘Mountain Haze”’ another ‘‘native son’ and 
drought resistant. This variety grows into a fine 
specimen plant and will be widely used in back- 
ground plantings. Its erect habit of growth is hand- 
some throughout the year but in the spring the 
immense clusters of lilac type spires of electric blue 
flowers measure 6-8” in length transforming the 
plant into a blaze of unrivalled color.
