The azaleas were already budding, the ceanothus getting ready its lilac livery for spring. |
Its ample bright-green, highly varnished leaves and large white flower-clusters make this a very beautiful species of ceanothus. |
It is our holly, as the ceanothus is our lilac, and the poison-oak is our autumn-red sumac. |
Plants chosen for drought tolerance as well as color thrive here, including catmint, ceanothus, lychnis, penstemon, purple coneflower, rockrose, rosemary, and star jasmine. |
To provide soil with nitrogen, try ceanothus, clover, legumes, lupine, and sea buckthorn. |
I am indebted to my friend, Dr. Burnett, for the suggestion of using ceanothus. |
