Its a good idea to give it some protection to start it off if you have small plants. Its about as hary as you get in the prettier cultivars I am 100% sue its hard to minus eitht in our humodity conditions. I have seen it survive to -10C from reports back from Holland. We had mature plants get -13C here in our garden so waiting to see if they recover from that. They have been defoliated at that temp so only time will tell if -12C is its upper limit therefore for now I am saying from our experince 2 year planted plants are fine with -8C. Local conditions are always important and frost pockets etc. The met office can say it got to -12C but in a frost pocket it can get to -15C. I hope this helps, regarding making a bunch of money I dont meet too many millionaire nurserymen :). I would be pleased to become one but I am happy with horticulture as a life.<br /><br />Thank you both for your comments and I hope its now near you Kat and you dont only have to see it on Twitter :). <br />Pat.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18398665604151936565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-631831557344390656.post-58080999366270050892010-03-04T12:39:45.445-08:002010-03-04T12:39:45.445-08:00I just picked up one of these at our local Molbak&...I just picked up one of these at our local Molbak's (near Seattle). It is very impressive looking! Gorgeous black leaves-yes a little brown toned, but almsot as good of a black as black mondo grass. Should pair up well with silver foliages.<br /><br />Since it's only a #1 size, I plan to keep it in a container for a year or two and to give it protection in some of our harder freezes. We do have a problem here, with many of the specialty Ceanothus hybrids, especially young plants, not being hardy. Even though the parentage of this is a northeastern American native plant, I will still worry.<br /><br />I hope you make a bunch of money from royalties on this plant. You deserve it!Patti Stollhttp://westsoundgardener.pattisplants.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-631831557344390656.post-87494807325699618352009-07-24T20:57:39.716-07:002009-07-24T20:57:39.716-07:00We love our Ceanothus here in California.
