Point Reyes Ceanothus

Point Reyes Ceanothus is a low-growing California native groundcover that transforms sunny slopes and garden beds with brilliant blue spring blooms. This spreading evergreen shrub hugs the ground while producing abundant clusters of delicate flowers that support native pollinators. Exceptionally drought-tolerant and adaptable to poor, well-draining soils, it requires minimal water once established and thrives in full sun. Ideal for erosion control, coastal gardens, and naturalistic landscapes seeking authentic native character. Perfect for cascading over banks or filling difficult-to-plant areas.
