Californian Lilac

  • Blue Diamond' is a compact, rounded to mound-forming, evergreen shrub with small, oval, glossy, toothed and veined, dark green leaves and spherical panicles of fragrant, blue flowers in late spring and early summer.
  • A fantastic shrub for attracting bees and butterflies to the garden. Ceanothus need little or no regular feeding in most garden soils. However to encourage strong new growth after pruning, plants can be fed annually in spring.
  • Ceanothus are susceptible to damage in very wet soil, so take care with automatic irrigation systems. Ideally the soil should be allowed to dry between watering.
