2. California lilac
California lilac is another one of my favorite flowering shrubs, and for good reason: it looks out of this world. Experts say they’re deciduous and evergreen types of ceanothus, and their pretty colors will make your garden look dreamy and sophisticated.
Many people choose to grow them for their stunning blue shade, but they have other colors too, such as pink and white. The California lilac blooms are known for their numerous, long-lasting, springtime flowers, and you won’t go wrong with this one.
If you get the C. Puget Blue variety, you’ll enjoy watching the masses of flowers for weeks, so I recommend you drink your coffee in the garden to soak up all that beauty. And if you’re not blessed with a huge garden, the Skylark variety is more compact and might be a good option.
