Ceanothus L., is a genus of about 50-60 species of shrubs or small trees in the buckthorn family Rhamnaceae. A genus is confined to North America, with a center of its distribution around California but some metal money (e.g. C. americanus) in the eastern United States and southeast Canada, and others (e.g. C. coeruleus) extending when far south when Guatemala. Virtually all come bush Nought.Five-Three m tall, however Hundred. arboreus & C. thyrsiflorus, two from either California, may be little trees as much as 6-7 m tall.

A majority of the metal money come evergreen, but a handful of metal money altered to cold winters are deciduous. A leaves come opposite or even replacement (based in mintage), microscopic (occasionally One-Five cm hanker), elementary, & mostly by using toothed margins. the flowers come white, blue, blench purple or even pink, maturing into a dry, 3-lobed seed capsule.

A Californian metal money come every now and again referred to as California-lilac, but not amazingly, a metal money noticed elsewhere keep close at hand more most common list, e.g. Up to date Jersey Tea for C. americanus. Within garden apply, virtually all come just known as by their scientific list or even an adaptation of the scientific title, e.g. Nautical Ceanothus for C. maritimus.

Numbers of coinage come popular garden ornamental plants, and twelve of hybrids and cultivars have been selected, like Flexible Ceanothus, Ceanothus × flexilis Greene old-fashioned McMinn (C. cuneatus × C. prostratus).
