Ceanothus Pallidus 'Marie Simon' – A Show-Stopping Flowering Shrub


Bring vibrant colour and pollinator activity to your garden with the Ceanothus x pallidus 'Marie Simon'. This deciduous shrub, commonly known as California Lilac, is renowned for its frothy clusters of pale mauve-pink blooms that burst forth from midsummer through autumn.

  • Breathtaking Blooms: Enjoy an impressive display of flowers from July to September, creating a soft yet striking backdrop in borders or mixed planting schemes.
  • Dynamic Seasonal Appeal: The glossy green foliage provides lush coverage through the growing season. As autumn arrives, leaves drop to reveal a unique framework of upright purple-red stems and attractive red seed capsules—adding structure and interest through winter.
  • Wildlife Friendly: The nectar-rich flowers attract bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects, supporting biodiversity in your outdoor space.
