Ceanothus is a large genus of about 50-60 species of diverse and versatile North American native shrubs in the Rhamnaceae family. Ceanothus derives from a Greek word meaning "spiny plant", which was applied by Theophrastus (371–287 BC) to an ancient plant believed to be Cirsium arvense. Most of the shrubs are 1-6 feet high, mounding or prostrate, but C. arboreus and C. thyrsiflorus, which are both of California natives, can be small trees that reach up to 18-20 feet tall. Other names of a variety of Ceanothus species include Mountain lilac, California Lilac, soap bush, buckbrush, wild lilac, and blueblossom.
Ceanothus leaves with mostly serrated edges have three parallel veins that extend from the leaf base up to the outer margins of the tips of the leaf. The leaves generally have a glossy surface, and vary in size from 0.5 - 3 inches. Ceanothus flowers are mainly blue in a variety of shades, but some are pink or white. The flowers are tiny and blooms in large and dense clusters that are extremely fragrant.
Growing flowers is difficult than most people consider it. Essentially, that’s because you have to understand some basics before you plant the flower. There are different ways to produce flowers. You may, for instance, buy flowers wholesale Holland from Astra Fund Holland BV, and replant it.
