Ceanothus cuneatus, or Buckbrush, is a beautiful, hardy evergreen shrub that brings a wealth of ecological benefits to your garden. Its clusters of small white flowers bloom in early spring, attracting a wide variety of native bees and serving as a host plant for multiple butterfly species. Beyond its pollinator appeal, Buckbrush provides shelter and food for birds and other wildlife, making it a valuable addition to any habitat-focused landscape.

This small to medium-sized shrub is native to the North Willamette Valley, though it's rare locally, and is more commonly found in southern Oregon and California. Known for its exceptional drought tolerance, Ceanothus cuneatus thrives in dry, rocky soils and requires minimal water once established. Its roots form a symbiotic relationship with nitrogen-fixing bacteria, enriching the soil and helping the plant thrive even in challenging conditions.

Add Buckbrush to your garden for year-round structure, pollinator support, and remarkable drought resistance—perfect for wildlife-friendly and low-water landscapes!
