This impressive Californian Lilac, which has received an RHS AGM for its garden performance, makes a showy display. From May to June, Ceanothus ‘Blue Mound’ is smothered in masses of deep blue flower heads. The glossy foliage forms a spreading evergreen mound that provides year-round structure and colour in borders for the rest of the year. It makes an excellent background plant for sunny cottage garden borders and wildlife gardens, where it will attract butterflies and other insects. Height: 150 cm (59″). Spread: 250 cm (98″).
Growing Information
Plant Californian Lilac into any fertile, well-drained soil. Choose a position in full sun with shelter from cold, drying winds. Ceanothus may be grown as a free standing specimen or trained against a wall or fence.
