Ceanothus 'Victoria' is widely regarded as one of the hardiest and most reliable varieties of California Lilac available. This award-winning evergreen shrub is prized for its dense, upright habit and its spectacular display of thimble-like, indigo-blue flower clusters that appear in late spring and early summer.

The foliage consists of small, deeply veined, glossy dark-green leaves that remain vibrant throughout the year, providing excellent structural interest even in winter. 'Victoria' is particularly well-suited for the UK climate and is an ideal choice for a sunny border or for training against a warm, south-facing wall. Supplied in a 3Ltr pot, this established specimen is ready to add immediate height and colour to your garden.
