Centennial California Lilac
Ceanothus ‘Centennial’
Ceanothus 'Centennial' is a charming, low-growing evergreen shrub native to the California coast, prized for its profuse clusters of fragrant, deep blue flowers that create a stunning carpet of color in spring. This compact, spreading plant forms a dense mat of small, leathery, dark green leaves that provide excellent texture and weed suppression. In spring, it produces an abundance of small, fluffy, deep blue flower clusters that are highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. Exceptionally drought-tolerant, deer-resistant, and low-maintenance, it is an outstanding choice for slopes, coastal gardens, banks, and water-wise landscapes.
