Hearst ceanothus is a very low-growing evergreen shrub that's native to California. It forms a groundhugging loose mat of dark green foliage that's less than 1' tall and up to 8' wide. Clusters of light blue flowers bloom in spring.
Native habitat and range
Hearst ceanothus has a very limited range, being found only in the coastal hills surrounding Arroyo de la Cruz in northern San Luis Obispo County, California.
Hearst ceanothus needs little to no maintenance. If necessary, you can limit the plant's spread by pruning back the stems.
