Excellent video! Beautiful plants and very nice narration. This has been one of the many plants on my very long list of plants to get, and I keep coming back to it as one that I should get sooner than later, with it being a CA native and all the other benefits. I'm looking for where to get it now. Thank you so much!
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.
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.
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.
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!😊😊❤️
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👍🙏🏻💖💖
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.
@@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 ❤️
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
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?
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
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.

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!

Thank you 🙏 such a beautiful color
I need one of these in Gettysburg, Pa
God Bless you 🙏
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

Thanks, I will look into purchasing one of these.

Beautiful plant, I'm going to see if it will grow where I live, Kill Devil Hills, NC!
Beautiful! I wonder how well it would do in my Florida garden. We get a lot of rain in the summer.
So cute, the bird chirping away.
Really good my friend! 😉 Have a beautiful weekend! 👍 57
Are you able to take cuttings and root more of these the way you did the red currants?
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?
Nice

they are fine with lots of wind..
The chickens 🐔 😊
Thanks just popped 2 in a shopping basket but have to wait until 1/4/2021 to get discount..I'm in the UK.

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'd say the Bee's are really happy 🐝
Just planted one, hopefully it gets as large as this one!
awww bees,chickens.....paradise!
I just plnated a Ceanothas Sierra Blue plant
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 ❤️
Great review. Not like other reviews. Where we see the reviewers face the whole time and not enough of the plant.
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
How long does it take to get to its mature size?
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
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)
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 ?
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?
Ah miner’s soap
Use the flowers to lather up under water and it’s a natural soap
Must be a nest in the second bush, the birds telling you to not get too close.
I'm having a hard time finding it. When can I buy it?
Would these do good in Arizona? If not what kind of liliac would grow great in Arizona?
Grow quite happily in the uk 🇬🇧
Hi I live in Florida. 10 A..what is your location
Where can I find this in Georgia
Does it have a scent ?
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
Hi this plant is so beautiful I live in us do you know where I can buy the seeds ?? Please I have looked everywhere
I live in St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada. Will this grow here?
How big is ur garden
When the shrubs die after 20 years, are they difficult to remove?
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.
Hello, can we prune it now? We forgot to do it in spring. Thank you
How much/ often would u water in May if it’s one gallon plant just move from pot to ground？ thanks
The chickens are not bothered by all the bees? 😊
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?
