Carmel Creeper Ceanothus

Overview

Ceanothus griseus var. horizontalis, or Carmel Creeper, is a fast-growing, evergreen shrub prized for its dense, mat-forming habit. Reaching 2-3 feet in height and spreading 8-10 feet wide, with glossy, dark green leaves, this California native boasts abundant, sky-blue flowers in spring. Ideal for slopes and erosion control, it thrives in full sun to partial shade and requires minimal water once established, making it a low-maintenance choice for drought-tolerant landscapes.
