The Story
Popcorn Maritime California Lilac is a charming low-spreading native shrub celebrated for its delicate white flower clusters that resemble popcorn when in full bloom. This Ceanothus maritimus cultivar reaches 2-3 feet in height with a wider spreading form, making it ideal for ground covers, rock gardens, and coastal landscapes. Remarkably drought-tolerant and salt-resistant, it thrives in full sun with minimal supplemental water once established. The fine-textured evergreen foliage provides year-round visual interest while supporting native pollinators. An excellent choice for water-wise gardens, slope stabilization, and low-maintenance Mediterranean plantings.
