'Yankee Point' Ceanothus, commonly known as 'Yankee Point Ceanothus', is a hardy, fast-spreading evergreen ground cover native to California. It features glossy, dark green leaves and produces an impressive display of small, sky-blue flowers in late winter to early spring, providing early-season nectar for pollinators like bees and butterflies. This low-growing shrub typically reaches 2 to 3 feet in height and can spread 6 to 10 feet wide, making it ideal for erosion control, slopes, and large areas in need of low-maintenance coverage. Its dense foliage also provides shelter for wildlife and creates a lush, natural look in the landscape.
'Yankee Point' Ceanothus is well-loved for its drought tolerance and ability to thrive in poor, well-drained soils, especially in coastal or Mediterranean climates. Once established, it requires minimal water and care, making it a favorite among native plant gardeners and those seeking sustainable landscaping solutions. It performs best in full sun but can tolerate light shade and benefits from occasional light pruning to maintain shape and encourage dense growth. With its tough nature, attractive blooms, and evergreen presence, Yankee Point is a standout choice for both functional and ornamental use in dry gardens.
