Ceanothus 'Skylark'
Californian lilac
In late spring and early summer, this bushy evergreen shrub is smothered in clusters of of dark blue flowers, which nestle against the backdrop of dark green, glossy leaves. A handsome and versatile plant, it can be used to create informal hedging, or to add year-round form and structure to a south or west-facing border where it will have protection from cold, drying winds.
