Description
This Evergreen White and Blue Duo of California Lilacs brings together two varieties of California Lilac that retain their foliage in winter and flower between March and May, depending on the climate. With a wide habit forming a beautiful mass of green vegetation, these bushes remain attractive in winter. Moderately hardy, but resistant to drought, they are perfectly suited to coastal areas. They can be planted in a large rockery, on a steep slope, or in a low hedge.
This duo consists of:
1 Ceanothus thyrsiflorus 'Repens': a slow-growing variety reaching 1m in height and 1.20m to 1.50m in width. Abundant and nectar-rich flowering in small clusters of sky blue.
1 Ceanothus thyrsiflorus 'Millerton Point': a bushy variety reaching 2m in height and 3m in spread. Flowering in dense clusters of creamy white with a delicate honey fragrance.
Hardy down to -9°C at the coldest, these two ceanothus thrive in full sun, in a sheltered position, in a well-drained soil, preferably acidic to neutral. A soil that is sandy and rich in compost and does not retain too much water is ideal. Consider their mature spread when planting: a minimum spacing of 1.50m between each plant if you plant them in a mass planting, for example. These bushes will have a great impact if they are planted at a slightly higher level, for example above a low wall, in a rockery, or along a pathway. You can create magnificent displays by combining them with pink or white rockroses, Euphorbia characias ssp. wulfenii, and creeping mimosa 'Limelight'.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
