El Dorado Mountain Lilac - Ceanothus thyrsiflorus 'El Dorado'

El Dorado Mountain Lilac is a compact California native shrub celebrated for its vibrant blue flower clusters and refined growth habit. This Ceanothus thyrsiflorus cultivar matures to 4-6 feet, making it well-suited for smaller spaces, borders, and container cultivation. Remarkably resilient in drought conditions, it demands minimal supplemental water once established and prefers full sun exposure with fast-draining soil. The persistent evergreen canopy supports native pollinators while requiring little maintenance. An excellent choice for sustainable landscaping and xeriscape designs.
