Sweetly fragrant, the flowers are produced from mid-spring to the onset of winter, depending on the varieties. While most Ceanothus bloom in spring, some produce their charming flowers in summer, others in the fall.

What time of year does Ceanothus flower?

Most ceanothus flower for around six weeks from late spring to early summer, although some bloom from July or August, and some varieties bear white or pink flowers. Ceanothus come in a range of sizes. When not in flower, their small, dark green leaves can act as an attractive foil for other plants.

Why is my ceanothus not flowering?

Generally, they do not respond too well if you have pruned the thicker branches. When pruning, look for the finer and smaller branches to prune. If you have simply reduced the general top/end growth, this could affect the possibility to produce flowers.
