Point Reyes California Lilac - Ceanothus gloriosus Point Reyes (Blue)

Point Reyes California Lilac is a spreading evergreen shrub distinguished by its rich blue flowers and resilient coastal character. This selection of Ceanothus gloriosus develops a low, mounding form ideal for hillsides, ground cover applications, and naturalized plantings. Dense clusters of vibrant blue blooms emerge in spring, providing essential nectar for native bees and butterflies while creating dramatic landscape color. Exceptionally adapted to coastal conditions, it tolerates salt spray, poor soils, and extended drought with ease. Requiring full sun and excellent drainage, this hardy California native demands minimal maintenance once established, making it a sustainable choice for water-wise gardens and ecological restoration projects.
