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:
