Commonly known as ‘Creeping Blue Blossom’, Ceanothus thyrsiflorus var. repens is a stunning evergreen shrub valued for its vibrant springtime blooms and attractive ground-covering growth. Native to California, this variety of Ceanothus is a low growing, spreading shrub, typically reaching a height of around 90cm and spreading up to 2.5 metres, creating a colourful, dense, year-round carpet in your garden. From late spring to early summer, dense clusters of small, deep blue flowers attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies, creating a lively display. The dark green, glossy foliage provides a perfect backdrop to the brilliant blooms, maintaining visual appeal throughout the year. Ceanothus thyrsiflorus var. repens thrives in full sun and well-drained, slightly acidic soil, making it perfect for dry, coastal gardens or slopes. Its drought tolerance, low-maintenance nature, and ability to form a ground cover make it an excellent choice for adding both beauty and function to garden landscapes.
