Key Features:

• Assortment of colors: The Ceanothus Mix features a variety of colors, including shades of blue, lavender, pink, and white. This diverse range of flower colors adds depth and visual interest to your garden, creating a captivating and colorful display.
• Showy clusters of flowers: Each Ceanothus variety in the mix produces abundant clusters of small, fragrant flowers that cover the shrubs during the blooming season. These blossoms attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, adding life and movement to your garden.
• Glossy evergreen foliage: All the Ceanothus varieties in the mix showcase glossy, dark green leaves that remain on the plants year-round. This evergreen nature ensures that your garden remains visually appealing even during the winter months. The dense foliage provides a lush backdrop for the vibrant flowers, enhancing the overall aesthetics of your outdoor space.
• Drought tolerance: Ceanothus is known for its drought tolerance once established. These shrubs are well-adapted to Mediterranean-style gardens or regions with dry summers, as they can withstand periods of limited water availability. Once established, they require minimal watering, making them an excellent choice for water-wise landscapes.
• Attracts pollinators: The vibrant flowers of the Ceanothus Mix attract pollinators such as bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. These beneficial insects help pollinate other plants in your garden, contributing to a thriving ecosystem and supporting biodiversity.

Companion Planting:

To create a harmonious and visually appealing garden design, consider pairing the Ceanothus Mix with the following plants:

• Salvia 'Hot Lips': The vibrant red and white flowers of Salvia 'Hot Lips' create a stunning contrast against the blue and lavender blossoms of the Ceanothus Mix. This combination adds drama and visual interest to your garden.
• Lavandula angustifolia (English Lavender): The soft purple hues of English Lavender complement the vibrant colors of the Ceanothus Mix. Both plants thrive in similar growing conditions and emit a delightful fragrance, creating a sensory experience in your garden.
• Agapanthus africanus (African Lily): The tall stalks of Agapanthus africanus with their clusters of blue or white flowers provide a vertical element that complements the mounding form of the Ceanothus Mix. This combination adds height and structure to your garden design.

Maintenance:

To keep the Ceanothus Mix looking its best, follow these maintenance tips:

• Watering: Water the plants regularly during the establishment period to ensure adequate moisture. Once established, Ceanothus shrubs are relatively drought tolerant and require minimal watering. Deep watering during prolonged dry periods can help maintain their overall health and appearance.
• Pruning: Pruning requirements may vary depending on the specific Ceanothus varieties in the mix. Generally, light pruning after flowering can help maintain a compact shape and encourage better branching. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches.
• Fertilization: Ceanothus shrubs typically do not require heavy fertilization. However, applying a balanced slow-release fertilizer in spring can provide some additional nutrients for healthy growth.
• Mulching: Apply a layer of organic mulch around the base of the shrubs to help conserve moisture, suppress weed growth, and maintain a more even soil temperature.
• Pests and diseases: Ceanothus shrubs are generally resistant to pests and diseases. However, monitor the plants regularly for signs of common garden pests and treat any infestations promptly using appropriate insecticides or organic pest control methods.
