Ceanothus, or more commonly known as the Californian Lilac, is a beautiful and easy-to-grow, spreading evergreen shrub that will make a perfect focal point in any garden. Perfect in front of walls and fences, it can be trained onto a trellis making it perfect for growing in a pot if you have limited space. In late spring, it forms amazing deep-blue clusters of flowers that stand out against the glossy green foliage. 'Italian Skies' will benefit from more sheltered areas in your garden, and it will thrive in a sunny, well-drained position. It is also a favourite with butterflies and bees, so if you are looking to attract wildlife into your garden, this Ceanothus is one for you. Extremely low maintenance, all it needs is a trim after flowering and again in late summer to keep it in shape. Supplied as an established plant in a 9cm pot, ready to plant.
Also known as the beaked yucca, Yucca Rostrata 'Sapphire Skies' is a plant of architectural impact with a tall, sturdy trunk topped by a pompom-crown of spiky, steel-blue leaves. A superb plant for well-drained, sunny areas of the garden, the globe of long, spiky leaves looks much like an exploding firework and will bring a dazzling effect wherever it is planted. The leaves themselves are long and pointed and being fairly thin catch the breeze and move seductively. A definite plant for collectors and lovers of the unusual, this is a plant that is rarely offered for sale and one that we're really excited to bring to you and with its head of creamy white flowers in summer once mature, it's a real eye catcher! Hardy to -10°C, this is an easy to grow specimen and supplied as an established young plant in a 9cm pot, ready for potting up or planting out.
