Description:
One of our most popular Ceanothus, 'Skylark' is a compact dome-shaped shrub to 5' high and wide. It has abundant blue flower clusters in spring for a longer period and later than most ceanothus. It takes the most shade and water of any Ceanothus we carry, and is also fairly tolerant of heavy soil. Nice combined with native Sages, Flannelbush, and the larger bunchgrasses.
