Description

Evergreen shrub for sunny position
Deep blue flowers in early summer
Attracts pollinators
Good ground cover

Ceanothus, or Californian Lilac, are evergreen shrubs with small glossy leaves and fluffy flowers which are usually blue. Ceanothus griseus 'Yankee Point' has deep blue flowers. Its spreading form is useful for all year ground cover in a sunny border, with a mature plant growing to about 1 metre high and as much as 2.5 metres wide.

The prolific flowers attract pollinating insects making it a good choice for a wildlife garden. In spring, to maintain the mound-like form, prune the previous year’s flowered stems to within 2 or 3 buds of the woody framework.

How you will receive your plants:

Can’t plant straight away?

Place in a sheltered spot and water regularly to keep the compost moist.

Dig a hole approximately twice as deep and 3 times as wide as the plant’s rootball. If your soil is heavy mix in a soil improver before backfilling. Firm the soil around the plant and water thoroughly.

Water shrubs regularly in the first year after planting and in dry periods
