Ceanothus sanguineus

Red stem ceanothus, also known as Oregon tea tree, is a robust, upright shrub that performs well in dry, disturbed sites where it improves the soil through nitrogen-fixation and is a magnet for pollinators, birds and other wildlife. Bright green, deeply-veined oval leaves appear in spring, followed by fragrant tiny white flowers that cascade in elongated clusters from late spring to midsummer. The flowers have a pleasant fragrance and are coveted by butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds. The reddish-purple stems are also attractive in the winter.  

  • Plant type/canopy layer: deciduous, perennial, large shrub
  • Size at maturity: 3'-10' tall, up to 10' wide
  • Light requirements: full sun, part sun/part shade
  • Moisture requirements: dry to moist soil, requires well-drained
  • Bloom time: May - July (June in the Portland Metro area)
  • Growth rate/ease: slow growth rate, moderately difficult to grow (requires specific conditions)
  • Wildlife support: flowers attract and provide nectar to hummingbirds, adult butterflies, bees and other insect pollinators; seeds are consumed by many species of birds and small mammals; foliage is an important food source for Rocky Mountain Elk and is also favored by deer, rabbits, and livestock; overall plant attracts and supports beneficial and other pest eating insects, provides cover for birds and small mammals and is a caterpillar host and larval food source for the Ceanothus Silkmoth, and the Hedgerow Hairstreak butterfly (plus likely host to at least two dozen others)
  • Native habitat/range: grows in dry, temperate coniferous forest openings and edges, as well as recently burned areas, across much of western North America from British Columbia to Montana to far northern California, as well as populations in Michigan. In the Pacific Northwest, it is mostly found on both sides of the Cascades and out toward the coast. Portland Plant List - yes. 
  • Special features & uses: wildlife and pollinator favorite; drought tolerant; nitrogen-fixer; medicinally used by indigenous peoples in tea, as poultice for wounds; other ethnobotanical uses include making a green dye from the flowers and using the woods to smoke meat, also goes by the name  “Soapbloom” because all parts of the plant contain saponin, and can be beaten with water to produce a lightly-fragrant, foamy soap that cleans the skin without removing oil and causing drying; landscape uses include erosion control, bank stabilization, habitat hedgerows, rock gardens, pollinator gardens, and woodland gardens

Gardening with Red Stem Ceanothus: Red stem ceanothus loves exposed, sunny sites with low-nutrient soils that are rocky, sandy and/or loamy and sharply-draining. It will not survive in heavy soils nor clay. Like many other Ceanothus, the seeds require heat, which is naturally provided in the form of wildfires, for reproduction. It is exceptional in hedge rows, dry pollinator gardens, and on tough slopes or disturbed banks where it will help control erosion and will improve soils through nitrogen fixation.

Very nice pillowcases

These pillowcases are really nice. They're soft and wash well. I really like the pocket on the end. It makes your pillows look nice and neat. The price is good too.

Love the sheets but GOSH THEY STINK
Color: 19 - Forest Green, Size: Queen (20" X 30")
I have the dark green sheets and bought these for extra cases to match. I would give them 5 stars if it weren’t for the fact that they smell absolutely horrible. I am so surprised after reading reviews that more people don’t mention it?! Maybe it’s more prominent in darker colors but I have washed these now 3 different times even with scent beads and still hate the smell. I wish I could accurately describe what it smells like— it’s just not good and for some reason, body heat only exacerbates it and makes the smell even worse and I wake up feeling like a smell like the sheets… which isn’t a good thing. Besides that, I do really enjoy them. They feel great on your skin and I love the color. I wish the smell didn’t kill them so badly for me ☹️

Comfy soft pillow covers
Color: 02 - White, Size: Queen (20" X 30"), Color: 02 - White, Size: Queen (20" X 30")
Absolutely love these pillow cases! I bought 2 sets. After I received them & washed & dried them they did remain wrinkly. I just went ahead and put them on my pillows & the wrinkles went away. I continue to love the feel, coolness & comfort. Will definitely buy more.

These Bamboo Pillowcases Made Me Realize I Sleep Hot
Color: 07 - Cream, Size: Queen (20" X 30"), Color: 07 - Cream, Size: Queen (20" X 30")
I bought these mostly because I kept hearing people talk about bamboo pillowcases and honestly thought it sounded a little overhyped, but I totally get it now. The first thing I noticed was how cool they felt compared to regular cotton. I tend to get warm when I sleep and flip my pillow a million times during the night looking for the cold side, and these actually stay noticeably cooler longer. They also feel really soft without having that weird slippery texture some silky pillowcases have. My skin has been less irritated lately and my hair definitely looks less frizzy in the mornings. I have thick hair that tangles easily overnight, and these have helped more than I expected. Another thing I appreciate is that they’ve washed well so far. I was worried they’d pill or lose softness after a wash cycle, but they still feel smooth and nice. They also just make the bed feel cleaner and more comfortable overall. One of those small upgrades that ends up making a bigger difference than you’d think.
