One of very few pink-flowered Ceanothus,this hardy sm-med garden hybrid repeat blooms to produce its clear-pink flowers from summer into fall; lovely in a border or trained againt a wall. Sun/Med

A rare ceanothus, 'Marie Simon' is deciduous (a surprise to me!) with pink flowers -- most ceanothus are blue-flowering and evergreen. I'm in zone 9, coastal Nor. CA, and this is in partial shade, which seems to keep it within reasonable height. Seldom bothered by pests, but although they grow fast they don't live long, 5-10 yrs at most.
