Growing just 6–12 inches tall and spreading 6–8 feet wide, it is an excellent groundcover for coastal gardens, slopes, and broad borders where its foliage provides year-round interest. This drought-tolerant native thrives in well-drained soil with sun to partial shade. Inland, give it afternoon shade and occasional summer irrigation; young plants can be tip-pruned to encourage a fuller, more even cover.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvergreen shrub; low, spreading groundcover habit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCalifornia native with attractive, textured green foliage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedium-blue flower clusters in spring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrought tolerant once established, especially in coastal climates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcellent choice for coastal gardens, slopes, and groundcover planting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWell-drained soil; partial shade and occasional summer water beneficial inland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTip-prune young plants to encourage dense coverage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrowing Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHeight: 6–12 inches | Spread: 6–8 feet\u003cbr\u003eExposure: Sun to partial shade | Water: Moderate; drought tolerant once established near the coast\u003cbr\u003eBloom time: Spring | Bloom color: Medium blue\u003cbr\u003eUSDA Hardiness Zone: 8–10\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Russian River Rootworks","offers":[{"title":"4\"","offer_id":44081577132086,"sku":"CEANOTHUS-HEARSTIORUM-4IN","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 Gal","offer_id":44147668877366,"sku":"CEANOTHUS-HEARSTIORUM-AVAIL-20250820-1GAL","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/4693\/0486\/files\/CEANOTHUShearstiorum.jpg?v=1759075967","url":"https:\/\/russianriverrootworks.com\/products\/ceanothus-hearstiorum-hearsts-california-lilac","provider":"Russian River Rootworks ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
