Island Ceanothus

Island Ceanothus is a stunning California native shrub prized for its vibrant blue flowers and drought tolerance. This evergreen beauty can quickly reach 25 feet tall, and 12 feet wide so it will need a spot with a good amount of room. Delicate clusters of tiny blue blooms appear in spring, attracting pollinators and adding a beautiful pop of color to the garden. Once established, Island Ceanothus requires minimal water and maintenance, making it perfect for low-maintenance landscapes. Its dense, mounding form provides excellent screening and erosion control on slopes. A resilient choice for gardeners seeking native plants that combine beauty with sustainability.
