Commonly known as California Lilac, this compact and bushy variety is ideal for adding vibrant colour to sunny borders, walls, and sheltered garden spots. Its small, glossy dark green leaves provide year-round interest, while the abundant blooms are a magnet for bees, butterflies, and other pollinating insects.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSupplied in a 3 litre pot, this plant is well-established and ready for planting out in the garden. Ceanothus 'Skylark' thrives in a warm, sunny position with well-drained soil and benefits from the shelter of a south or west-facing wall or fence.
