Carbeth Plants Ceanothus Skylark Shrub - 3 Pack - 9Cm Pot

This variety is a vigorous grower and can reach heights of 2-3 meters if left unpruned, though it is easily kept smaller through regular trimming.

While it prefers the ground, it can be kept in a very large, well-drained container, though it will require more frequent watering and feeding.

Spring or early autumn is the ideal time, as the soil is typically warm and moist, allowing the roots to establish before extremes of heat or cold.

A light application of a general-purpose, slow-release fertilizer in early spring is usually sufficient to support healthy growth.

Generally, Ceanothus is not known to be toxic, but it is always best to keep pets from chewing on garden shrubs to avoid potential digestive upset.

Planting it against a fence or wall is the best natural protection; in exposed gardens, use temporary windbreaks during the winter months.

Often a sign of poor drainage or waterlogging; check that the soil is not sitting in stagnant water.

Ensure the plant is receiving at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight; shade will significantly reduce flowering.

Check for competing weeds around the base and apply a mulch to retain moisture while suppressing competition.
