    Another western native plant that deserves wider promotion, this evergreen shrub is very easy to grow in a dry, sunny location, and always looks great, with tough little deep green leaves. It may eventually reach 6' tall or more with an irregular habit. Showy white flowers cover the plant in spring. We have Sean Hogan at Cistus Nursery to thank for this special collection from the northernmost outpost of its native range at ____ OR. Hardy to at least -15 °F.

    Silver-blue leaved, white-flowered California lilac, a chaparral component from Baja to western Oregon. This evergreen shrub grows 4-5' tall, forming a rounded shape. Great for places with summer drought in full sun where there is very good drainage. Should be frost hardy to 0-10 °F, USDA zone 7 or even colder.
