[calscape.org] Range, Habitat, Cultivation: This Ceanothus is endemic to coastal California, where its distribution extends from the Central Coast region through the southern North Coast region. It is a plant of the chaparral, coastal scrub, and closed-cone-pine forest plant communities. Carmel Ceanothus is the most popular Ceanothus for California garden.
