Snowbrush ceanothus
Ceanothus velutinus
Snowbrush ceanothus is a hardy, nitrogen-fixing shrub that thrives in well-drained soils with minimal care once established. It performs best in full sun to partial shade and is an excellent choice for erosion control on slopes and disturbed sites. Avoid overwatering and heavy clay soils, as this native shrub is adapted to lean, dry conditions in western landscapes.
