1 Ceanothus Victoria Plant, Hardy Evergreen Blue Flowering Shrub, Outdoor Garden Ready, 3 Litre Root-Ball

Ceanothus Victoria, commonly known as California Lilac, is a stunning evergreen shrub prized for its profusion of deep blue flower clusters that appear in late spring and early summer. With its compact, bushy habit and small, dark green glossy leaves, this reliable garden performer provides year-round structure and seasonal colour that few other shrubs can match. A magnet for bees, butterflies and other pollinators, Ceanothus Victoria is an excellent choice for sunny borders, wall training, or as a standalone specimen plant.

Supplied as an established plant in a 3 litre pot, this Ceanothus Victoria is outdoor garden ready and well-rooted for reliable establishment once planted out. It thrives in a warm, sheltered position with free-draining soil and, once established, is both drought-tolerant and low-maintenance — requiring only a light trim after flowering to keep its shape.
