Joyce Coulter Ceanothus

Joyce Coulter Ceanothus is a compact California native shrub prized for its vibrant blue flowers and drought tolerance. This low-growing variety reaches 2–3 feet tall and spreads 10-12 feet, making it ideal for borders, slopes, and water-wise gardens. Blooms appear in spring with delicate clusters of lavender blue flowers that attract pollinators and wildlife. Once established, it thrives in full sun with well-draining soil and minimal water—perfect for drought tolerant and native plant landscapes. Hardy and low-maintenance, Joyce Coulter adds color and ecological value to any garden while supporting local ecosystems.
