Point Sierra California Lilac is a selection of maritime Ceanothus from just norht of Arroyo de la Cruz. It is a small scale groundcover evergreen shrub  growing 1-3'high x 4-6'wide. We love Ceanothus maritimus and chose to grow this Point Sierra selection due to it's increased tolerance of inland heat. Nonetheless  we recommend some light shade for hot interior gardens. Lavender blue flowers appear in early spring.  This plant will grow in heavy soils and is great wildlife plant for butterflies  pollinators and birds.Plant as a small-scale groundcover  as an accent in a dry border  or as a highlight in a rock garden. Trails over walls or rocks wonderfully. Maritime ceanothus adapts to many soil types  it will even grow in heavy soils as long as they are well drained. This groundcover ceanothus is slow-growing but long-lived.
