Californian lilac Ceanothus Dark Star Makes a Great Wall Shrub



Ceanothus Dark Star is a Californian lilac and is producing vibrant deep blue flowers now.

It’s a brilliant evergreen wall shrub about 1.5 to 2.5m height and width. Give it a sunny spot  and a reasonably well drained soil.  It’s from California!

The foliage is dark green and glossy and the flowers are slightly fragrant.
It can be grown and pruned as a shrub or allowed to cover a wall.

This ceanothus has been given the Award of Garden Merit by the RHS.
