Heart's Desire Mountain Lilac

An evergreen groundcover.  It grows up to one foot high and five feet wide.  The blue flowers bloom winter through spring.  This plant is great for hedges, screens, shrubs, or can be trained to grow into a small tree.  


Pinch and lightly prune in spring after flowering. You can remove flower clusters right after blooming to encourage a denser growth habit.   If given too much water it will be short lived.  You shouldn’t cut into any new growth that is larger around than a pencil.  Larger cuts heal slowly and become infected with apricot dieback fungus, fungal spores are spread by rain.  

An easy California Native to grow in the Los Angeles area.
