Ceanothus Wheeler Canyon ~ California Lilac
Ceanothus Wheeler Canyon is a mounding spreading shrub that gets to 5 feet tall by 8 feet or more wide. The great selling point of Ceanothus Wheeler Canyon is the way the young flower spikes go from reddish purple buds to deep blue flowers as they open. It adds great interest to the shrub during the spring bloom while new and old blooms are simultaneously on the plant. The dark green glossy leaves are beautiful as a backdrop for the remainder of the year as well. Ceanothus Wheeler Canyon is great for the Butterfly Garden providing larval food for Western Tussock Moth Caterpillars, California Common Ringlet, and Hedgerow Hairstreak and providing an early nectar source for the Pale Tiger Swallowtail and Spring Azure and Monarch Butterflies
