Product description
Ceanothus “Concha" is a beautiful specimen to add to your garden collection. Recognized by many for their wonderful purple buds, these evergreen shrubs have been given the prestigious Award of Garden Merit by the Royal Horticultural Society.
Although propagation by a woody shoot is possible, we offer a select variety of this beautiful bush that have been well cared for and looked after. The “Concha” can reach up to 4m in both growth and spread and it is recommended to prune after flowering or just after the frost has passed in the spring. It is a hardy plant that can tolerate temperatures down to -10°C.
One of the most attractive features about the Ceanothus “Concha” is that it develops beautiful clusters of deep purple flowers. In addition, the density of the foliage and supporting network of arching branches create a wonderfully dense bush. The leaves are of a deep green hue.
The plant most appreciates full sun and soils that maintain moisture and are well-drained.
As it is an evergreen bush, it will do well in positions as part of a hedge or accent piece in a courtyard garden. It can reach its maximum size within a span of 10 years.
The Ceanothus “Concha” is a wonderful bush that will impress you with its overall functionality, but even more so with its wonderful purple budding.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Top Tip
Provide a support to train the plant for more structured, formal appearance.
How to Water
Water regularly during the first few growing seasons. After this, ceanothus is drought tolerant and only needs to be watered during particularly dry spells. Allow the soil to dry out between waterings.
How to Plant
Choose a sheltered spot out of strong winds and plant ceanothus in full sun in well-draining soil. Dig a hole around twice as wide as the root ball and position the plant so the top of the root ball is at soil level. Backfill with soil and compost, gently firm down, and water in well.
