Ceanothus griseus var. horizontalis is a fast-growing evergreen groundcover native to California. It features glossy green foliage and masses of blue spring flowers. It is excellent for slope stabilization, as a low hedge or border planting, or as a groundcover. Thrives in fertile, sandy, or loamy soils with excellent drainage. It tolerates salt-laden coastal spray. Drought-resistant once established, but appreciates occasional summer water in hot inland valleys. It will tolerate partial to light shade, especially in hot inland areas. Less deer-resistant than other Ceanothus. Moderate resistance to Verticillium wilt. Cold hardy to 15°F.
