Diamond Heights Ceanothus is a live 4-inch plant grown for light: golden-chartreuse leaves splashed with irregular dark green centers that hold color right through the year, then clusters of fragrant blue flowers over the top in spring.

Low and spreading, Ceanothus griseus var. horizontalis 'Diamond Heights' works as a luminous ground cover on a sunny bank or spills from the rim of a large outdoor pot, staying knee-high and considerably wider than tall. Once established it asks for very little water — soak only after the soil has begun to dry. Trim lightly after bloom and pull out any plain green shoots that revert.

Fun fact: Ceanothus goes by California lilac, yet it is no relation to lilac at all. It sits in the buckthorn family, and the resemblance stops at the flower clusters.

Yours arrives as an established plant, healthy on arrival or we replace it free.

We use expedited shipping policies to protect plant health and minimize plant stress in transit.  All plants are in transit for only 1-3 days. (This does not guarantee 3-day delivery as orders are not always packed and sent out on the day of your order.) We send out deliveries on a weekly schedule to ensure quick transit times, so your order may not be packaged and shipped until later in the week. For instance, we may hold shipments to avoid weekend delays that keep plants in transit for longer.

All packaging includes eco-friendly material and our shipping methods are tested regularly to ensure plants arrive healthy upon arrival.

Additionally, any delays or damages in shipping are covered by our Healthy Plant Guarantee.

If you're plants arrived damaged, we will happily replace them for free!
