Ceanothus 'Concha'
Californian lilac
In late spring, this dense, evergreen shrub produces dazzling spheres of tiny dark blue flowers on arching branches among small, glossy, dark green leaves.
Ceanothus ‘Concha’ is ideal for a sunny mixed border on neutral to alkaline soil and once it has flowered, provides an excellent foil for later flowering deciduous shrubs or perennials.

How to care for Ceanothus Concha:
‘Concha’ thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. Plant in a hole twice the root ball’s width, backfill, and water deeply.
Each year after the plant has flowered, reduce the shoots by one third and apply a 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of well-rotted organic matter around the base of the plant.
