This shrub is deciduous so it will lose all its leaves in autumn, then fresh new foliage appears again each spring.

Hello, This plant will grow to around 7 x 7m when it matures, however if you are trying to create a dense screen, then you can plant them very close together - even as close as 45cm. If you do want to move it, then as it has only been in the ground for a couple of months, you should not doo too much damage - just try to make sure you get all the roots and then keep it really well watered throughout the summer.

Hello there This plant will be approx 40cm tall in a 3lt pot. Hope this helps.

Hello, If you are going to create a hedge, then I would recommend planting them at 45cm intervals. The best times to plant are spring or autumn, but you can plant container-grown plants at any time of the year provided the soil is not frozen in winter - or the plants are kept rally well watered in summer.

Hello there Now is a great time to be planting. This plant is fully hardy so as long as it isn't freezing outside or the ground frozen you can plant now. Hope this helps.

Hello Kate, It will be a little hit and miss as a lot will depend on the weather, but the following plants should be in flower around that time.

Hello Margaret, it is rare to find larger sized Ceanothus as they are usually quite short-lived and don't normally live longer than 6 - 8 years. We do have a selection of larger shrubs on our site like Hamamelis, Hydrangeas, Magnolias, Acer, Cornus, Cotinus, Philadelphus, Syringa and Viburnum, so you may find something of interest. They will be listed in this section. http://www.crocus.co.uk/plants/ I hope this helps. Helen Plant Doctor

These shrubby trees like a sunny spot with fertile, humus-rich, well-drained, neutral to alkaline soil. They flower in early summer, so the faded flowers should be removed after they are past their best. They require little pruning, but appreciate a generous layer of mulch around their base in early spring.

The best way to renovate lilac is to cut back the main stems to within 30-60cm of the ground in winter. The response is usually good although the regrowth will need to be thinned out. Keep in mind though that flowering will be delayed for up to three years if you cut all the branches back at the same time, so it may be better to stage the hard pruning over two or three years.

Syringas will often flower when they are young if they are grown in a pot as their roots are restricted. When grown in the ground though, they may take up to 5 years to flower as they are concentrating their efforts into producing a good root system. The only other considerations are a lack of sun, or pruning at the wrong time of the year.

June is a time to relax and enjoy your garden, but there are still some early flowering shrubs that will need pruning if they are to produce the best possible displays year after year. A few shrubs can also be trained into unusual and attractive standards

Some of the smaller-flowered lilacs have an exceptional scent that captures the freshness of late-spring and early summer. Their bright-green foliage and their twiggy habit make them especially perfect for smaller gardens. The flower heads may be smal
