Island Ceanothus

Overview

The Island Ceanothus (Ceanothus arboreus) is a striking evergreen shrub, native to California's coastal islands. It boasts lush, glossy foliage, reaching 8-20 feet in height with a similar spread. In spring, it erupts with dense clusters of fragrant, blue-purple blossoms. This low-maintenance plant thrives in full sun, prefers well-drained soils, and once established, is drought-tolerant, making it an ideal choice for water-wise landscapes and Mediterranean gardens.
