Ceanothus thyrsiflorus 'Snow Flurry'

Snow flurry

An evergreen shrub that grows rapidly- up to ten feet tall and wide.  The white flowers bloom in the spring.  This plant is great for hedges, shrubs, screens, or can be trained into a small tree.

Pinch and lightly prune in spring after flowering. You can remove flower clusters right after blooming to encourage a denser growth habit.   If given too much water it will be short lived.  You shouldn’t cut into any new growth that is larger around than a pencil.  Larger cuts heal slowly and become infected with apricot dieback fungus, fungal spores are spread by rain.
