OMGosh! Now I know the name of this!! Thanks so much for sharing this, I have seen other people with these in their yards & want one for myself!! It is sush a BEAUTIFUL plant!😊😊❤️
Thank you for sharing. I used to live in Northern and moved to Southern. Big change w climate. I grew largely over 40 dif species of fruit trees and flowers in my property. My whole intention is to grow flowers and fruit trees specifically for the birds, butterfly and bees. I got gooseberry and black currant yesterday. I finally put them in containers today bc I dont know how they will react. I love your garden. I saw your berries video which motivated me to get them.
Cool plant! I don't think I've seen any for sale locally (not quite hardy enough for here in 6b). But, it does look like there are several related species that are native in our area (Ceanothus greggii, Ceanothus fendleri). I'll keep an eye out, I really like using evergreen or semi evergreen native plants in the garden. My current favorite evergreen natives are Apache plume (Fallugia paradoxa) and Fernbush (Chamaebatiaria millefolium). We have those sprinkled throughout the yard and as part of a windbreak near some fruit trees.
So beautiful. I'm in Ireland and have the tree variety, its about 20 foot high and its in full bloom right now. It just gets better and better each year. I wish I had more land so I could plant lots of them.
Here in the UK, these are not very well known, but you do see them now. They're beautiful. I used a variety suitable for hedging for a small hedge to line my little front garden. Bees love it.
Thanks for this. O definitely have to transplant the two varieties I bought. I have the darker shrub as well as the one you showed. So pleased I found this article. 😀
Dan, thanks so much for the info and video ! Am always looking for more plants/bushes that have blue blossoms/violet blossoms for my garden - this one certainly fills the bill !!!!!
We live in Portland, Oregon and have three ceanothus in our front (south facing) garden. They are two of one species and one of another (unfortunately we didn't record which). This late winter we see that one is doing really poorly; lots of dead twigs and many leaves dropped. It was grown from a gallon pot and is now enormous, maybe ten feet high and with a central stem as thick as my thigh, so the spot is good for it, but now it's ailing. I'm worried that it won't bounce back this spring. I don't know what to do except wait. We had tried typical west-of-the-Cascades native shrubs here before but they mostly didn't thrive. Our soil is classified as "excessively well-drained" and there is a large spruce tree that takes up much of the moisture in the soil in the summer, so we have replanted with chaparral and Mediterranean species. Mostly it's worked, but now I'm worried about all three of our big ceanothus. Any advice would be appreciated.
I love Ceanothus, but my garden is very exposed, lots off wind, so it's tricky, we lost a beautiful mature one a couple of years ago and that's made me nervous. But I've bought a new one recently and am glad you made this video, I'm looking forward to seeing my new one grow and flourish👍🙏🏻💖💖
@@praisingirl Possibly, but I've had a close encounter one time, got like 6 inches from one before it flew off... It was an AMAZING feeling to get so close to one, they are such majestic creatures ❤️
I didn't know the ceanothus was a nitrogen fixing plant. I have a few varieties in my garden in east San Diego county, South Coast Blue, Frosty Blue and Joyce Coulter. The Frosty Blue has an amazing deep blue/purple color that is a show stopper.
Looking for something to replace Fraser photino around my pool for privacy. Do you think this is a good replacement. Have sandy soil, full sun, in zone 7A Oklahoma. Thanks
I bought a few of these, the only thing that makes me sad is that mine only flower May/ June. Would love if there was a version that flowers for longer.
Hello Mr. Plant Abundance could you tell me please where you bought this plant, I want to buy and plant it, I'm grateful if you could help me or if you are able to sell .
Nice! How long did it take your beauty to grow from that one gallon pot to it's size in the video? ...Oh, it sounded like you said 5-7 years at the end of your video. OK, thanks! Do you know how well a shrub like this would do in a large ceramic pot?
I have one, the bees love it and it's beautiful, only problem.... it grows wayyyyy tooo fast and big :D I am cutting it back each year by 1-1.5 meter. It grows extremely fast.
If you had wanted to, could you have pruned or controlled that bush to stay under 4-5feet tall? I'm trying to plan a garden and am looking for a bush that I can place in front of 1st floor windows

Thank you 🙏 such a beautiful color
Beautiful plant! And the bird gave a synopsis of the plant, too! Many blessings, and may this 2023 be a year of abundance!!!! I love your channel!
Really good my friend! 😉 Have a beautiful weekend! 👍 57
So love this channel. Thanks Dan
I need one of these in Gettysburg, Pa
God Bless you 🙏
One of my favorites. I have one about a quarter the size of yours. They attract 🐝 and are a great colour. Also they don't mind drought.
Would this do well in arizona?
Thanks, I will look into purchasing one of these.
Dan, thanks so much for the info and video ! Am always looking for more plants/bushes that have blue blossoms/violet blossoms for my garden - this one certainly fills the bill !!!!!
Beautiful! I wonder how well it would do in my Florida garden. We get a lot of rain in the summer.

Beautiful plant, I'm going to see if it will grow where I live, Kill Devil Hills, NC!

they are fine with lots of wind..
Are you able to take cuttings and root more of these the way you did the red currants?
Lovely share😊😊
What a great guy that takes the time to notice nature JUST LIKE ME . I just bought one 2 weeks ago over watering can be a problem
So cute, the bird chirping away.
Nice
Great review. Not like other reviews. Where we see the reviewers face the whole time and not enough of the plant.
Thanks just popped 2 in a shopping basket but have to wait until 1/4/2021 to get discount..I'm in the UK.
That bird was trying to put it's 2 cents in😊😊
I liked that Dan stopped and let it have its say. 😁
He must be near her nest
@@praisingirl Possibly, but I've had a close encounter one time, got like 6 inches from one before it flew off... It was an AMAZING feeling to get so close to one, they are such majestic creatures ❤️
I just plnated a Ceanothas Sierra Blue plant
Just planted one, hopefully it gets as large as this one!
I didn't know the ceanothus was a nitrogen fixing plant. I have a few varieties in my garden in east San Diego county, South Coast Blue, Frosty Blue and Joyce Coulter. The Frosty Blue has an amazing deep blue/purple color that is a show stopper.
I'd say the Bee's are really happy 🐝
I grow native species of Ceanothus, some of them will just rot in amended soils, so I just neglect them and they go crazy (in the good way)
awww bees,chickens.....paradise!
The chickens 🐔 😊

Ah miner’s soap
Use the flowers to lather up under water and it’s a natural soap
How long does it take to get to its mature size?
I've never heard of this plant. My yard is all sun for 8 to 10 hrs in the summer. I would love to get this plant.
I bought a few of these, the only thing that makes me sad is that mine only flower May/ June. Would love if there was a version that flowers for longer.
Must be a nest in the second bush, the birds telling you to not get too close.
Does it seed ? It is a pretty plant and very catchy .🥰
Hello Mr. Plant Abundance could you tell me please where you bought this plant, I want to buy and plant it, I'm grateful if you could help me or if you are able to sell .
Beautiful I gotta get me some of these :D
Really enjoyed your video on Ceanothus I've had it about 3 years. I cant believe the bees it attracts, love it, can you take cuttings to propagate ?
I'm having a hard time finding it. When can I buy it?
Nice! How long did it take your beauty to grow from that one gallon pot to it's size in the video?
...Oh, it sounded like you said 5-7 years at the end of your video. OK, thanks!
Do you know how well a shrub like this would do in a large ceramic pot?
Does it have a scent ?
Would these do good in Arizona? If not what kind of liliac would grow great in Arizona?
Grow quite happily in the uk 🇬🇧
I have one, the bees love it and it's beautiful, only problem.... it grows wayyyyy tooo fast and big :D I am cutting it back each year by 1-1.5 meter. It grows extremely fast.
Hi I live in Florida. 10 A..what is your location
If you had wanted to, could you have pruned or controlled that bush to stay under 4-5feet tall? I'm trying to plan a garden and am looking for a bush that I can place in front of 1st floor windows
When the shrubs die after 20 years, are they difficult to remove?
How big is ur garden
Hi this plant is so beautiful I live in us do you know where I can buy the seeds ?? Please I have looked everywhere
Where can I find this in Georgia
How much/ often would u water in May if it’s one gallon plant just move from pot to ground？ thanks
Hello, can we prune it now? We forgot to do it in spring. Thank you
The chickens are not bothered by all the bees? 😊
¿Tiene espinas?
im sorry my guy but this is not Ceanothus blue Jeans....looks more like Joyce Coulter
how may years did it take to take to the full size?
