Ceanothus
Concha ~ California Lilac
|
| Ceanothus Concha is a
large fast growing shrub. This California Lilac hybrid is one of the
oldest. Ceanothus Concha grows 6-8 feet tall and is typically a
little wider than tall. The fragrant dark blue flowers are pruduced
in the late Winter and early Spring. Ceanothus Concha is quite
drought tolerant once established. Long term survival odds are
improved by limiting Summer water and planting in an area with good
drainage. Ceanothus can live to 25 years in exceptional conditions
but typically live 10 years or so. Ceanothus Concha will grow best in full sun but will
tolerate some light shade. Deer are not generally attracted to
Ceanothus, but if hungry enough they will eat just about anything
organic. Ceanothus Concha is hardy to the low teens and likely
below.
