Plant Care

Here's a guide on how to plant and care for the Concha California Lilac

Choose the Right Location:

Sunlight: Select a location that gets full sun (6+ hours of direct sunlight daily). Although it can handle some partial shade, full sun promotes the best flowering.
Soil: Make sure the soil is well-draining. Ceanothus thrives in slightly acidic to neutral soils (pH 6.0-7.0) and prefers sandy or loamy textures. Avoid areas where water tends to pool.

Prepare the Soil:

Dig a Hole: Make a hole that is twice as wide and as deep as the root ball of your plant. This allows the roots to spread out easily.
If your soil is heavy clay or very poor, consider mixing in some compost to improve drainage and fertility.

Planting Process:

Remove the Plant from Its Container: Gently slide the plant out, being careful not to damage the roots. If the roots are tightly packed, gently loosen them with your fingers.
Position the Plant: Place the shrub in the hole so that the top of the root ball is level with the ground. Ensure the plant is standing straight.
Fill the Hole: Backfill with soil, gently pressing it down around the root ball to remove air pockets. Be careful not to bury the stem or trunk.

Watering:

After planting, water the shrub thoroughly to help settle the soil around the roots. This will also ensure the plant gets off to a good start.
Continue to water regularly during the first growing season until the plant is established.
