ceanothus

We also got suggestions from a charming subreddit called r/Ceanothus, which I recommend heartily to anyone with an interest in California native plants.

Those plants, grown from locally collected seed, include black sage, white sage and purple sage, California buckwheat, long-stem buckwheat and ashy leaf buckwheat, wild grape; narrow-leaf milkweed, California bush sunflower; deerweed; showy penstemon, toyon, laurel sumac and ceanothus.

Well, yes, and I don’t just mean the native ceanothus shrubs, a.k.a.

Her recommendations include multiple buckwheats, including California buckwheat, and Yankee Point ceanothus, an evergreen groundcover that has beautiful spring flowers.

Acres of terraced growing areas and multiple greenhouses produced many native plants grown from seed collected around the park such as sumacs, ceanothus, yellow-blooming flannel bush, manzanitas, barberries, monkeyflowers, Catalina cherry, toyon and coffeeberry.
