Blueblossom

/ˈbluːˌblɑsəm/ noun

Definition

A California shrub with small blue flowers that bloom in clusters, often used in gardens and native landscaping.

Etymology

From English 'blue' (Old English 'blæw') combined with 'blossom' (Middle English, from Old English 'blostm'), referring to the color of its flowers. The compound name directly describes the plant's appearance.

Kelly Says

This plant is a California native that was historically used by Indigenous peoples and later became popular in water-wise gardening because it thrives with minimal irrigation—it's basically nature's way of saying 'I'm beautiful AND drought-resistant.'
