I'd like to have a positive ID as well as I have a bunch of them growing away soon to be added to my plant list :P<br /><br />The Ceanothus is probably 'Dark Star' or less likely 'Julia Phelps'.<br /><br />Igardendaily: Look for Ceanothus prostratus, it's hardy to zone 5b-6 at least. It is native to central Washington and Oregon and the Siskyou/Klamath region, but is rare in cultivation. C. velutinus is even hardier, and taller, and with bigger flowers, but they're white, not blue :(Ian Barclayhttp://desertnw.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-27359585055233711832011-05-19T09:19:51.425-07:002011-05-19T09:19:51.425-07:00Jomo, thank you!

I was driving by when I saw them and almost slammed on my brakes. So vibrant!<br /><br />MulcMaid, I don't think so (Pt. Reyes) as in my experience Pt. Reyes is more of a low grower and this one is tall. By the way if you are considering Pt. Reyes mine sailed through last winter unharmed!<br /><br />Ryan, bummer. I am sorry! I did see a nice Rheum at Portland Nursery on Stark Street last week.<br /><br />Scott, me too! (jealous)<br /><br />Grace, while mine is none are big enough for this sort of impact.<br /><br />Wyatt's mom...maybe you should let Wyatt drive?<br /><br />igd, well...maybe it's just best to enjoy the Ceanothus in pictures? It looks like zone 6 is a little beneath their range.

Another confirmation that the bottle-brushy shrub is Fothergilla. Just in case you don't know...it turns AMAZING shades of orange, red, maroon and yellow in Fall.
