Transform your garden with the breathtaking Ceanothus 'Puget Blue', widely considered one of the finest and most intense blue-flowering varieties of the California Lilac. This vigorous evergreen shrub is celebrated for its dense habit and its spectacular display of cone-shaped, deep indigo-blue flower clusters that completely smother the plant in late spring.

The foliage is unique, featuring small, narrow, deeply veined dark-green leaves that provide a rich, textured backdrop year-round. 'Puget Blue' is an RHS Award of Garden Merit winner, chosen for its reliability and outstanding garden performance. Whether grown as a standalone specimen in a sunny border or trained against a south-facing wall, it adds a touch of Mediterranean elegance to any landscape. Supplied in a 3Ltr pot, this established shrub is ready for immediate planting.

Key Features:

  • Award-Winning Performance: Recipient of the RHS Award of Garden Merit for excellence.

  • Intense Colour: Produces some of the deepest blue flowers of any Ceanothus variety.

  • Evergreen Texture: Distinctive narrow, dark-green leaves provide year-round architectural interest.

  • Wildlife Magnet: A primary source of nectar for bees, butterflies, and other pollinators in early summer.

  • Established 3Ltr Pot: A well-rooted, mature plant that provides a much faster display than smaller 9cm alternatives.

Planting & Care Instructions:

  • Position: Thrives in full sun. Must be planted in a sheltered spot to protect from cold, drying winds.

  • Watering: Water regularly during the first growing season. Once established, it is notably drought-tolerant.

  • Feeding: Apply a balanced slow-release fertiliser in early spring.

  • Pruning: Lightly prune after flowering to maintain its shape. Avoid cutting back into old, woody growth as it may not sprout again.
