Ceanothus ‘Millerton Point’ – 5 Litre

Ceanothus ‘Millerton Point’ is a stunning evergreen shrub admired for its dense clusters of small, sky-blue flowers that bloom profusely from mid to late spring. Its glossy, dark green foliage forms a lovely backdrop, providing year-round interest. Compact and bushy, this variety is perfect for adding vibrant color to borders, walls, or as a feature in containers.

Best Position: Plant in a sunny, sheltered spot to encourage maximum flowering and maintain the best foliage. ‘Millerton Point’ prefers well-drained soil and thrives in coastal gardens or areas with sandy, loamy soils.

When to Prune: Light pruning after flowering in late spring or early summer helps maintain a neat shape and remove any dead or damaged branches. Avoid cutting into old wood as it may not regenerate.

When to Feed: Feed with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to promote healthy growth and a vibrant display of flowers.

Flowering Time: Expect a dazzling display of sky-blue flowers from mid to late spring, brightening up your garden as summer approaches.
