Ceanothus Victoria is a fast-growing, evergreen California lilac valued for its glossy green foliage and abundant clusters of blue flowers in late spring to early summer. It performs best in Ireland in a warm, sheltered, south- or west-facing position with full sun, and in moderately fertile, well-drained soil. Ideal as a free-standing shrub or trained against a wall for extra protection, its nectar-rich blooms are attractive to bees and other pollinators while the dense habit provides year-round structure.
To help give a clear sense of scale, the stone wall shown in our photos measures approximately 265cm in height. We also use familiar garden tools as visual references: a digging fork (110cm tall) and a hand fork (30cm tall). These are included purely as size guides to help you better judge proportions when viewing the images.
