Product Information

Ceanothus Skylark produces masses of thimble shaped bright blue flowers during May and June held above the small glossy bright green foliage, like other spring flowering Ceanothus this plant makes a useful foil for the bright flowers and foliage of other later season plants when it has finished flowering.

Ceanothus Skylark appreciate full sun and well drained soil in a sheltered spot, away from cold and drying winds.

Ceanothus is a good plant for an unusual flowering hedge if you have a sheltered garden, plant 2-3 plants per metre in good well drained soil and the young shrubs will develop quite quickly to create a beautiful feature within a few seasons. This variety may be maintained as a hedge of 100-150cm needing little attention other than a trim after flowering.
