Californian Lilac

Ceanothus Blue Carpet is a popular, evergreen shrub that becomes smothered in showy clusters of rich blue flowers in summer. The flowers are complemented with small and glossy, dark green leaves as it grows to 75 cm tall and 1 m wide. Ceanothus Blue Carpet is a great plant for including in borders and mixed plantings, using in cottage gardens, or planting as a groundcover. It is quite picturesque when allowed to spill out over a path of wall.
