Wild Lilac

This prostrate growing evergreen shrub spreads from the center out into a symmetrical star-shaped pattern. Red-brown stems hold small, narrow, dark-green leaves and in late spring appear the abundant clusters of tiny blue flowers. This is one of the more shade tolerant of the Ceanothus and grows well in a wide range of soils.
