Elevate your garden with the vibrant Ceanothus 'Skylark', a compact and exceptionally free-flowering variety of the California Lilac. This evergreen shrub is celebrated for its dense, mounding habit and its spectacular display of thimble-like, deep blue flower clusters that blanket the foliage in late spring and early summer.

The foliage is equally attractive, featuring small, finely-toothed, glossy dark-green leaves that provide year-round structure and interest. 'Skylark' is often preferred for smaller gardens due to its neat growth habit. It is an ideal choice for a sunny border or for planting against a warm garden wall. Supplied in a 3Ltr pot, this established specimen is ready to provide immediate impact and attract a variety of pollinators to your outdoor space.

Key Features:

• Prolific Flowering: Produces masses of deep blue flowers that create a stunning contrast against dark foliage.

• Evergreen Interest: Glossy, dark-green leaves remain on the plant throughout the year.

• Compact Habit: Naturally forms a neat, rounded shrub that is easier to manage than larger varieties.

• Established 3Ltr Pot: A strong, well-rooted plant that offers faster growth and better resilience than smaller alternatives.

• Wildlife Friendly: A major nectar source for bees and butterflies during the spring.

Planting & Care Instructions:
