Description

This beautiful Californian Lilac is evergreen and forms a neat mound of dark foliage and powder blue flowers in late April through into May. Ceanothus belong to the Rhamnacaea family with over 60 species of diverse and beautiful shrubs and small trees. The Californian Lilacs are very versatile and can be used in containers, as focal point specimens or as useful all year round structural plants in a sunny free draining bed. They will tolerate dry garden soils but conversely, will require consistent moisture if grown in a container. Trim bi- annually following flowering to retain a compact and full habit. Feed annually with a balanced organic fertiliser such as Fish,Blood&Bone. Sited correctly and cared for, thyrisoflorus will give 20+ years of pleasure.
