Ceanothus: A Burst of Blue for the British Garden.

The Ceanothus, commonly known as the Californian lilac, is nothing short of a marvel when it comes to adding vibrant colour to the garden. With its rich, blue flowers that cover the plant in dense clusters from late spring into early summer, Ceanothus creates a true spectacle. The intensity of its blue hues, ranging from deep indigos to softer sky blues, is quite rare in the garden, making it a real showstopper. Planted against a sunny wall or as a standalone feature, Ceanothus brings a dazzling display that feels like a burst of summer sky in full bloom.

Perfect for Sunny Spots and Easy to Grow.

One of the charms of Ceanothus is its adaptability to British gardens, despite its Californian origins. It thrives in a sunny, sheltered spot and is well-suited to a range of soil types, provided they’re free-draining. Once established, Ceanothus is surprisingly hardy and tolerant of dry conditions, which makes it ideal for those sunnier areas that can often be challenging to plant. This evergreen shrub is relatively low-maintenance, needing only a light trim after flowering to keep it looking neat. For gardeners seeking a striking, easy-care plant that brings warmth and vibrancy, Ceanothus ticks all the boxes.

A Friend to Pollinators and Year-Round Structure.

Ceanothus isn’t just a treat for the eyes; it’s also a valuable addition for supporting garden wildlife. Its nectar-rich flowers are a magnet for bees and other pollinators, providing an important food source during the blooming season. And, as an evergreen, Ceanothus retains its glossy green foliage throughout the year, adding structure and depth to the garden even in winter. For those looking to create a garden that’s as welcoming to wildlife as it is beautiful, Ceanothus offers a perfect blend of colour, life, and year-round interest that makes it a true garden favourite.
