Often known as California Lilac, this reliable variety produces dense clusters of rich blue blooms that smother the plant, creating a spectacular display against its small, dark green, crinkled evergreen foliage. A firm favourite among gardeners and pollinators alike, it brings colour and life to borders, sunny walls, and sheltered garden spots.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis vigorous yet compact shrub is ideal for training against a south- or west-facing wall or fence, or for planting as a free-standing specimen in a sunny, sheltered border. Once established, Ceanothus 'Puget Blue' is drought-tolerant and low-maintenance, thriving in well-drained soil and a position in full sun. It is best planted in a spot sheltered from cold, drying winds to protect its evergreen foliage through the winter months.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy ours\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrown by us in Yorkshire, in peat-free compost, shipped in plastic-free packaging.
