Dense and compact, Ceanothus 'Skylark' is a bushy, evergreen shrub noted for its abundant clusters of cerulean blue flowers in late spring and early summer. The flowers are so profuse that they literally cover the bush, creating a breathtaking floral display. The blooms are borne on branches clad with finely toothed, glossy dark green leaves. Usually ignored by deer, this pretty, dome-shaped shrub is prized by birds, butterflies and hummingbirds. 'Skylark' has a wide tolerance of climates and soil types and performs well both in coastal and interior sites.
Bears semi-double, open cups, with prominent stamens, which are mid pink at first, paling slightly to lilac-pink. There is a light but pleasing musky Tea fragrance. The growth is light and airy, building up into a natural, well-rounded shrub. David Austin, 2007.
Unique variegated form of Ceanthus 'Skylark', with a more compact, upright habit ideal for smaller spaces. This west coast native blooms later than other types, extending the season for pollinators.

A la création du jardin, j'avais planté le céanothe "Concha", mais la rigueur du premier hiver a été d'une telle intensité que l'arbuste, n'a pas résisté au froid. Pour une meilleure rusticité , le pépiniériste m'a proposé d'essayer la variété "Skylark". Aujourd'hui , c'est un bel arbuste de 2.50 m de hauteur pour autant de large qui agrémente par son abondante floraison le fond du massif. Les nombreuses fleurs d'un bleu intense sont portées en panicules latérales et terminales de 6 à 8 cm de long. Les feuilles persistantes finement dentelées sont d'un vert moyen et lustré. Son imposant volume vient donner du relief au massif mais son empiétement au dessus du rhododendron va nécessiter une taille harmonieuse après la floraison afin que chaque variété occupe sa place. Au cours de ma promenade journalière, je savoure l'important parfum de miel qu'il dégage, des senteurs agréables attirant les abeilles. Belle journée à tous.
Beleef de mooiste tuinen!
