Green Bark California Lilac, Ceanothus spinosus, is a vibrant green and lush looking Lilac, that likes clay soil! Green Bark or Red-Heart California Lilac is great for a fast hedge or screen for San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbra as well as down through Malibu and Calabasas. Ceanothus spinosus is a very beautiful hillside shrub that grows in seasonally wet heavy clay slopes. In beach sand they get a little yellow, but the flowers are still good; in heavy adobe or near sodic soils the plants are spectacular, filling canyons with a sweet fragrance and a blanket of blue flowers. Howard McMinn says "The evergreen shining foliage and arborescent habit of growth make this species desirable for planting in large estates where a mass effect is desired".
