CALIFORNIA MOUNTAIN LILAC Ceanothus Concha ©Laura Quick The ceanothus is in bloom and the bees are loving it. California Lilacs, or Ceanothus, are some of our most fragrant and colorful shrubs here in California. Ceanothus conchas are well-adapted for a Mediterranean biome, variable water, drought, poor soil (beach sand to adobe) and will grow in full sun at a variety of elevations. Deer love them as do bees.
