Ceanothus 'Concha' Plant
Description: The Ceanothus 'Concha' is a stunning evergreen shrub known for its vibrant blue flowers and resilient nature. Often referred to as "California Lilac," this cultivar is a favorite for gardeners looking to add striking color and texture to their landscapes. Native to the western United States, Ceanothus 'Concha' is particularly valued for its ability to thrive in dry conditions, making it a perfect addition to drought-tolerant gardens, coastal landscapes, or water-wise plantings.
Key Features:
•Size & Growth: Ceanothus 'Concha' typically reaches a height of 4 to 6 feet with a spread of 5 to 6 feet, making it an excellent choice for borders, hedges, or as a specimen shrub.
•Foliage: It has dark green, glossy leaves that offer a rich, evergreen backdrop throughout the year. The foliage serves as a perfect contrast to the bright flowers that emerge in spring.
•Flowers: The plant’s standout feature is its profusion of deep blue to purple flowers that appear in late spring to early summer. The blossoms form dense clusters that attract pollinators, especially bees and butterflies, adding both beauty and ecological value.
•Growth Habit: Ceanothus 'Concha' has a dense, rounded growth habit, which provides structure and a full, bushy appearance in the garden.
Uses:
•Landscaping: Perfect for creating bold, colorful focal points in garden beds, borders, or as a low hedge. It works beautifully in coastal gardens, xeriscapes, or pollinator-friendly plantings.
•Drought-Tolerant Gardens: Ideal for water-wise gardening, as it is highly resistant to drought once established, making it a fantastic choice for sustainable landscaping.
•Attracting Pollinators: Its abundant flowers attract bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects, helping to support local pollinator populations.
Growing Conditions:
•Sunlight: Prefers full sun for the best flowering and growth, though it can tolerate light shade.
•Soil: Thrives in well-drained soil and is tolerant of poor soil conditions, making it perfect for rocky, sandy, or coastal soils.
•Watering: Once established, Ceanothus 'Concha' is drought-tolerant, requiring minimal water. However, regular watering during the initial planting period will help establish strong roots.
