Californian Lilac – Ceanothus ‘Thyrisflorus Repens’

Ceanothus thyrsiflorus var. repens is one of the hardiest ceanothus. It’s a low-growing, evergreen shrub which, in May and June, is smothered in fluffy, powder-blue flowers and and assortment of pollinators. It’s easy to grow and care for, and forms a natural, shapely mound. The Royal Horticultural Society has given it its prestigious Award of Garden Merit (AGM).

Grow Ceanothus thyrsiflorus var. repens in moist but well-drained soil in full sun to partial shade, towards the front of a mixed border. Trim annually to keep plants bushy and leafy.
