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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eSupplied 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e1 x Ceanothus Victoria Plant in a 3 Litre Pot\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCultural Information:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ceanothus impressus 'Victoria'\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Names:\u003c\/strong\u003e California Lilac, Ceanothus Victoria\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClassification:\u003c\/strong\u003e Evergreen Shrub\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFully Grown Height and Spread:\u003c\/strong\u003e 150–250 cm × 150–250 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bushy, Dense Evergreen Shrub\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect For:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sunny Borders, Wall Training, Specimen Planting, Coastal Gardens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlowering Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e Late Spring to Early Summer (May–June)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlower Colour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep Blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Position:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full Sun, Sheltered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil Requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Well-Drained, Moderately Fertile Soil (Avoid Waterlogged Conditions)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAttracts:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bees, Butterflies and Other Pollinators\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardy (RHS H4)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardy Evergreen Shrub\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Small, Dark Green, Glossy Leaves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePruning:\u003c\/strong\u003e Light Trim After Flowering to Maintain Shape – Avoid Cutting Into Old Wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Tips:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChoose a warm, sunny and sheltered spot, ideally against a south or west-facing wall or fence.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnsure the soil is well-drained; Ceanothus does not tolerate waterlogged roots.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWater regularly during the first growing season to help the plant establish a strong root system.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOnce established, Ceanothus Victoria is drought-tolerant and requires minimal watering.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvoid heavy pruning into old wood, as Ceanothus does not regenerate well from mature stems.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNotes:\u003c\/strong\u003e This listing is for the Ceanothus Victoria variety, recognised for its particularly vivid deep blue flowers and dense, compact evergreen habit.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Plants For All Seasons","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57700048273782,"sku":"COL-3L-CEA-VICX1","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0562\/5990\/3625\/files\/file_083badc9-0389-4057-a4d5-3c9f570a1c1a.png?v=1776441665","url":"https:\/\/www.plantsforallseasons.co.uk\/products\/col-3l-cea-vicx1","provider":"Plants For All Seasons","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
