Will this grow in my garden?

Can I grow this in a pot?

Yes, the Patio Ceanothus can be grown in a pot, where its vibrant blue flowers will create a stunning display, provided it receives plenty of sunlight.

How big does it get?

The Patio Ceanothus typically grows to a height and spread of about 1 to 1.5 metres when kept in a pot.

How much sunlight does this need?

The Patio Ceanothus requires a position in full sun to produce its vibrant blue flowers and maintain a healthy, compact habit.

What kind of soil does this plant prefer?

The Patio Ceanothus requires well-drained soil, as it is drought-tolerant once established and dislikes sitting in waterlogged ground.

How much watering does this plant need?

The Patio Ceanothus is drought-tolerant once established, requiring only occasional watering during prolonged dry spells of several weeks.

Will this plant need pruning?

The Patio Ceanothus should be lightly pruned immediately after flowering to maintain a compact shape and encourage bushy growth.

How hardy is this plant?

Ceanothus has an RHS hardiness rating of H4, meaning it can withstand temperatures down to -10°C. It is hardy through most of the UK in an average winter, but it benefits from a sheltered, south-facing wall in colder northern or inland regions.

Meet Mike's trusted specialists

Start with a touch of continental sun

Over 99% of our plants are grown in the UK, but where that’s not possible, Mike sources the best specialist growers in Europe for the job. Think citrus warmed by Sicilian sun, topiary trained by Dutch masters, almonds nourished in the Dordogne and bamboo bathed in Tuscan heat. Our handpicked growers nurture these plants to maturity before handing over to our team in the Cotswolds, to toughen them up for UK gardens.
