Ceanothus oliganthus, commonly known as Hairy Ceanothus, is a tall and wide evergreen shrub, making it ideal for use in larger native landscapes, coastal scrub, and chaparral plantings. It thrives in full sun to partial shade and is highly drought-tolerant once established, making it a valuable addition to water-wise gardens. The green foliage provides year-round interest, while its clusters of blue flowers bloom in spring, attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies. With its dense, sprawling form, Ceanothus oliganthus is perfect for erosion control on slopes and can serve as a habitat plant in restoration projects or as a background shrub in native plantings.
