California Lilac Live Cuttings – 15+ Unrooted Ceanothus Cuttings | Approx. 6 Inches | Blue Flowering Pollinator Shrub | Drought-Tolerant Native Plant

Grow a beautiful blue-flowering shrub from cuttings with this set of 15+ live California Lilac cuttings. Ceanothus is prized for its spectacular clusters of blue flowers, evergreen foliage, and value to bees and other visiting pollinators.

These cuttings are collected from naturally grown outdoor plants and average approximately 6 inches long. They are fresh propagation material and arrive without roots, soil, or pots, making them ideal for gardeners who enjoy rooting and establishing their own plants.

Once successfully rooted and established, California Lilac is especially well suited to sunny, water-wise landscapes, native-inspired gardens, slopes, borders, and pollinator plantings. Depending on the exact Ceanothus selection, plants can develop a low, spreading growth habit that works well as ornamental groundcover.

💡 Care Tip: For propagation, recut the base cleanly and place cuttings into a sterile, well-draining propagation medium. Rooting hormone can improve results. Maintain humidity around the foliage while keeping the medium lightly moist rather than saturated, and provide bright indirect light while roots develop. Once rooted and actively growing, gradually acclimate young plants to stronger outdoor light.
