Pot Grown Californian Lilac
(Ceanothus 'Yankee Point')

Ceanothus̴Ì?is a stunning evergreen shrub that boasts clusters of fragrant blue flowers, looking gorgeous in the late Spring through to the Summer.

We've dedicated time and care into growing your pot grown plant, so it arrives looking stunningly new and healthy.

The Ceanothus hedge can easily be trained against a fence or wall, due to it being so robust, and it will truly form an exquisite hedge. The elegant, fragrant flowers are also very popular with the bees, bringing some lovely wildlife into your garden. Being Native to North America, the Californian Lilac will bring a burst of colour into your garden, whether it is in flower or not, as the dark-green foliage strikes all year-round.

It is a hedge that is well known for its wide spreading capabilities, so therefore must be positioned in a spacious area that will allow for growth. Make sure you place it in a sunny position, and keep it away from cold, strong winds, to ensure you get the very best out of your Californian Lilac.

The Ceanothus grows best in fertile, well-drained soils and grows between 20-40cm per annum. It is rather easy to maintain; it is the ideal attractive shrub if you are wanting to bring something fresh and graceful to your garden.

  • Growth height: Average (20-40cm)
  • Ideal height: 2.5m+ Tall
  • Soil Type:̴Ì?Normal
  • Exposure: Sheltered
  • Aspect: Sun
  • Evergreen foliage? Yes

As it is pot grown, you can easily leave the plant in its pot for a few days/weeks before planting it. Just ensure you keep it well-watered, and it gets enough sun. Don't leave it for too long, however, as you don't want the roots becoming root bound.

Trimming your Californian Lilac should be done during Spring. You will need to trim away any growth from the previous season- about 1/3-1/2 of the growth. This will encourage further flowers. Make sure the hedge is also kept at a manageable level.

  1. Prepare the soil by mixing in some compost. Dig the hole- this will have to be about twice the width of the root system, but the same depth.
  2. Remove the plant from its pot by placing one hand on the base of the plant, and the other at the bottom of the pot. Wriggle the pot away gently.
  3. Untangle the roots a little as they may be rather clumped together.
  4. Place the plant into the hole, ensuring the base of the stem is level with the surface of the soil. Follow this with backfilling the hole with your soil mix, and patting down lightly to secure.
  5. When you're done, thoroughly water the plant. Ensure you regularly water throughout its first year, as the plant needs plenty to be able to settle down, recover, and establish.

Root Types Summary

  • Bare Root
    Bare Root

    Field grown, bare roots are young plants that are only planted when they are dormant, from autumn to spring. We lift bare root plants and despatch them during the season but they can be pre-ordered in summer. As they are cheaper to grow, they are one of our most affordable hedge planting options.

  • Pot Grown
    Pot Grown

    Pot grown plants can be planted year round and make a convenient option. They come in a wide range of sizes, from 10cm to 2.5m so they're suitable for the majority of planting requirements.

  • Root Ball
    Root Ball

    Also field grown, root ball plants are scooped out of the ground using machinery to keep their root system intact and wrapped in bio-degradable, hessian sacks. They are mature plants that provide dense coverage very early on, ideal for when you need a thick hedge quickly.

  • Instant Hedging
    Instant Hedging

    Grown in troughs or bags that measure 50cm-1 metre in length and carefully clipped during the growing season. Our instant hegding troughs create a dramatic, instant hedge effect.
