anyone grow Ceanothus x pallidus 'Marie Simon?'

I brought this plant home from Suncrest Nursery up in Watsonville in the fall and have been trying to figure out where to put it. It is much much more delicate looking than the standard ceanothus and the leaves are very soft and flexible as compared to those I know. my intuition says to plant this one in part shade and give it more water than I would any native.
Any suggestions? My summers often get into the 90s and winters down into the upper 20s (F). I'm worried this ceanothus will fry in my summer heat. 

Thanks
