Rugged beauty is calling. California wild lilacs cascade in clouds of flower mist over hillsides and valleys in late winter and early spring.  Their blanket of late winter blossoms ranges in color from snow white to icy blue and deep purple. 

Spring wildflowers, fragrant groundcovers and fall color carpet the understory of this garden package with blue and deep green tones. This garden is inspired by the thick and rolling dry chaparral. Plants top out at 10' high, love heat, dislike much water and require sharp drainage or at least slightly sloped terrain.
