Carmel Mountain Lilac
Yankee Point is an evergreen sub-shrub. Growing to 4 feet tall and 10 feet wide, this low shrub’s shiny leaves, dense form and graceful habit make it an attractive bank cover.
It is a rapid spreader and is sprinkled with medium-blue flower clusters in April-May.
This selection of the coastal species is from Monterey County. It has a more compact habit, darker foliage and flower color, and better heat tolerance than other available cultivars.
