Description

San Simeon Ceanothus is an ultra-dwarf, mat-forming native groundcover, endemic to a tiny area of the Central California coast. It is among the lowest-growing ceanothus, forming a dense, flat carpet of tiny, glossy green leaves. In spring, it is covered with small clusters of pale blue flowers. Its extreme low profile, drought tolerance, and adaptability to poor, rocky soils make it a perfect choice for rock gardens, between stepping stones, or as a lawn alternative in tiny, sunny areas.

• Ultra-Dwarf Groundcover: One of the smallest ceanothus, forming a dense mat only 2-4 inches tall but spreading several feet.

• Tiny Glossy Foliage: Features minute, rounded, shiny leaves that create a fine texture.

• Pale Blue Spring Flowers: Produces small but charming blue flower clusters close to the foliage.

• Extreme Drought & Coastal Tolerance: Thrives in the harshest, driest, most exposed coastal conditions.

• Rare & Specialized: A unique plant for connoisseurs and challenging, well-drained sites.
