Californian lilacs are a garden must-have for their abundance of blue flowers appearing from spring and carrying on through summer.

Height: 150-180cm
Pot Size: 35cm
Decorative Pot Required (opening): 36cm+

For no fuss or mess you can put the plant in the growing pot it arrives in straight inside a decorative one. This also allows allows excess water to be drained after watering.

For a good fit the opening (not diameter) and height of the new decorative pot need to be several centimetres greater than the current growing pot.

Remember to take into account tapering, as the internal height of a pot will be measured from the centre to the top but the sides will taper in on a rounded pot.

⌀20cm	21-22cm

Watering

Ceanothus are fairly drought tolerant and if planted in the ground, once established they should get most of the moisture they need from rainfall, except in very hot summers. If kept in a pot make sure it is free draining and reduce watering in the winter.

Temperature

May need winter protection in frost prone areas of the UK.

Feeding

Feed with a general purpose garden feed in in spring and summer.

Top Tip

Most dieback is caused by too much water or that the plant is too exposed to cold winds.
