It is a neat ornamental shrub, commonly planted in California, and demands enough space as it spreads quickly, covering ground rapidly. Grown for its beautiful display of blue flowers that attract bees, it forms a perfect mound of glossy oval leaves providing year-round interest. This California Lilac is suitable for coastal areas and can withstand more water and clay than other varieties. Plant them in sun near coastal areas, or inland in a sheltered location with dappled afternoon shade. The foliage and flowers require shelter from cold, harsh winds. Pruning this fast-growing bush is necessary for a handsome appearance; sheer with a hedging trimmer but avoid chopping the stems. California ‘Yankee Point’ Lilac is an excellent flowering bush suitable for large-scale ground cover and for growing against walls, creating a magnificent floral show in a border.
