In late spring, this dense, evergreen shrub produces dazzling spheres of tiny dark blue flowers on arching branches among small, glossy, dark green leaves.

Ceanothus ‘Concha’ is ideal for a sunny mixed border on neutral to alkaline soil and once it has flowered, provides an excellent foil for later flowering deciduous shrubs or perennials.


  • Garden care:
    ‘Concha’ thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. Plant in a hole twice the root ball’s width, backfill, and water deeply.

    Each year after the plant has flowered, reduce the shoots by one third and apply a 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of well-rotted organic matter around the base of the plant.
