Growing Ceanothus 'Skylark'

Ceanothus are sun lovers and thrive against a sheltered South or West-facing wall. They need a well-drained but moist soil, ideally neutral to acidic; mildly alkaline is fine, but they are not suitable for chalk. Clay is good on a slope, brow of a hill, or other location that doesn't hold water in winter.

Their hardiness is rated H4, which means they will be fine in most places outside the coldest regions, as long as they are sheltered from cold, drying winds. Ceanothus don't respond well to hard pruning, so go gently.
