Ceanothus 'Italian Skies'
Californian Lilac. An evergreen shrub with small, dark green, glossy, textured leaves that provide the perfect backdrop for the vibrant blue clusters of flowers in late spring. Bushy in habit. Perfect for sunny positions in the garden, where it will become a magnet for garden pollinators.
Plant Care
Plant in any good garden soil, avoiding wet areas. It may be kept smaller with a light pruning after each flowering in spring.
Planting Instructions

Height/Width
Water thoroughly, or stand pot in a container of water for half an hour before planting. Dig a hole twice the size of the root ball. Remove the pot, place the plant in the hole so that the root ball is level with the surrounding ground and refill, firming if necessary. Keep well watered in dry weather. Feed in spring with a good, general fertiliser.
