Ceanothus thyr. 'Repens'

• Height: 'Repens' typically grows to a height of 1 to 2 feet, with a spread of 6 to 8 feet, forming a dense, spreading mound that gracefully spills over slopes, retaining walls, and containers.
• Foliage: The glossy, dark green leaves of 'Repens' provide year-round interest, serving as an attractive backdrop for its abundant clusters of vibrant blue flowers. The foliage emits a pleasant fragrance when crushed, adding to the shrub's allure.
• Flowers: In late spring to early summer, 'Repens' bursts into bloom with clusters of tiny, sky-blue flowers that blanket the foliage, creating a breathtaking display of color. The nectar-rich blooms attract pollinators such as bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, enhancing the garden's biodiversity.
• Form: 'Repens' exhibits a prostrate, spreading habit with gracefully arching branches that cascade down slopes or spill over garden edges. Its cascading form softens hardscapes and adds a sense of movement and texture to the landscape.
• Versatility: Due to its low-growing nature and spreading habit, 'Repens' is ideal for ground cover, erosion control, and slope stabilization. It also thrives in coastal gardens, rock gardens, and Mediterranean landscapes, where it adds a pop of color and texture.

Care and Maintenance: Nurturing Your Ceanothus thyr. 'Repens'

Ceanothus thyr. 'Repens' is relatively low-maintenance and thrives in sunny, well-draining conditions. Here are some essential care tips to keep your 'Repens' healthy and vibrant:

• Sun Exposure: Plant 'Repens' in a location with full sun to partial shade, where it receives at least six hours of direct sunlight per day. Adequate sunlight promotes flowering and ensures compact growth.
• Soil Conditions: 'Repens' thrives in well-draining, slightly acidic to neutral soil. Amend heavy or clay soils with organic matter such as compost or peat moss to improve drainage and fertility.
• Watering: Once established, 'Repens' is drought-tolerant and requires minimal watering. Water deeply but infrequently, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. Avoid overwatering, as soggy soil can lead to root rot.
• Pruning: Prune 'Repens' lightly after flowering to maintain its compact shape and encourage bushy growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or overgrown branches, shaping the shrub as desired. Avoid heavy pruning, as 'Repens' blooms on old wood.
• Fertilization: 'Repens' typically does not require fertilization if grown in nutrient-rich soil. However, if soil fertility is low, apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to support healthy growth and flowering.

• Ground Cover: Use 'Repens' as a ground cover in sunny areas where it can spread and fill in bare spaces. Its dense foliage suppresses weed growth and provides year-round interest.
• Rock Gardens: Incorporate 'Repens' into rock gardens or alpine plantings, where its low-growing habit and cascading branches complement boulders, rocks, and other hardscape features.
• Container Planting: Showcase 'Repens' in containers or hanging baskets, allowing its trailing branches to spill over the edges for a cascading effect. Pair with other drought-tolerant plants such as succulents and ornamental grasses for a dynamic display.
