Compact Blue blossom

Skylark ceanothus is a shrub that is more compact than the straight species, growing 4-5 ft. tall and spreading to 6-7 ft. wide.

The fragrant spring to summer blooms are dark blue clusters that produce seed eaten by all sorts of birds. The flowers attract butterflies and bees as well.

This plant survives on just rainfall (except during prolonged years of winter drought). Fairly tolerant of heavy soil.

Cultivars such as this are horticultural selections and hybrids, not part of the native ecology but work beautifully in the garden
