Easy to grow and one of the hardiest of the ceanothus family, thyrsiflorus var. repens is compact enough to grow in a pot if your space is limited or it can be grown up a wall giving your garden height and structure.

Supplied as an established plant in a 2L pot, ready to plant straight out.

Planting Advice for your Ceanothus thyrsiflorus var. repens:

• Grow Ceanothus in a sunny, sheltered site in fertile, well-drained soil. Protect from frost and winds.
• Dig a planting hole 3 x wider than the roots of the shrub you're planting and mix some well-rotted compost or manure with the soil from the hole and use this to re-fill once the shrub is in place.
• Before planting soak container-grown shrubs thoroughly and allow to drain.
• Remove the plant from its pot and tease out a few of the roots. Add Mycorrhizal fungi to the roots when planting to help plants establish quicker.
• Place your shrub in the hole at the same level at the pot and refill the hole with the earth removed (backfilling).
• Firm in the soil with your heel, avoiding the root ball and water well.
• Mulch around the base of the plant with a collar, compost, gravel, bark etc.
• If you're planting into pots, place some old rocks, stones or gravel in the bottom of the pot for drainage and ballast.
