A densely compact shrub growing 3 to 6 feet tall by 5 to 8 feet wide. Less dramatic than the closely related ‘Dark Star’ and ‘Julia Phelps’ when in bloom, its fine texture, compact shape, and lighter blue flowers make ‘Vandenberg’ a solid addition.
Ceanothus prefer full sun and well drained, dry, rocky or sandy soils. Shelter them from cold dry winds, and avoid excess watering. They may need some protection from our cold, moist winters. Ceanothus benefit from a small, Spring application of lime each year. Prune ceanothus only when necessary, preferably in the summer months to avoid spreading disease.
