Evergreen California Lilac Tree - Patio Standard Ceanothus CONCHA Tree

Ceanothus Concha is a fantastic evergreen that comes in to its own in late spring, producing a dazzling display of dark blue flowers over its arching branches, themselves covered in dark green leaves.

Also known as Californian Lilac, it is the perfect choice for a bright, sunny mixed border, ideally on free-draining soil. When planted towards the back of a border or against a fence, it makes an excellent backdrop for other plants throughout the rest of the year. In winter, thanks to retaining its foliage, you will also have a good amount of evergreen cover.

Supplied as Standard Evergreen Tree, these look absolutely resplendent in bright blue when in flower. Concha will make an attractive tree for the patio or garden with its lovely dark evergreen foliage and beautiful blue flowers from late Spring into early summer. The foliage looks smart all year round, forming a neat Lollipop head above the clear stem.

These Ceanothus trees are ideal in a pot on the patio. Simply clip the head of foliage to keep in shape and maintain a smart topiary look. Normally only offered as a bush, we have limited quantities of these available as stunning standard trees.

A long, clear stem supports a bushy lollipop head of foliage that bursts into colour in early Summer. Fluffy, blue blooms will cover the head of the tree, creating a spectacular display for many weeks. It is very easily pruned into shape to keep bushy and rounded. Keep moist, well-drained soil in a nice bright position, and it will reward you. 

Tough, hardy, and drought-tolerant, once established, will look marvelous in any setting. Plant them in the garden, and you can easily train them into small umbrella-shaped trees. Strong plants with a clear stem, topped with foliage, are supplied in 3 litre containers as pictured, with an overall height of around 80-100cm, full of gorgeous buds and flowers in season.
