Welcome to Plant House Cheshire.

Ceanothus 'Tuxedo'

California Lilac

3L Pot Large Plant

Amazing near black, shiny foliage.


3L Pot Large Plant. A striking selection of California Lilac, Ceanothus 'Tuxedo' is a bushy, evergreen shrub noted for its amazing near black, shiny foliage. The dark leaves create a fascinating contrast with the abundant clusters, 3 in. long (7 cm), of lavender blue flowers. This hybrid California Lilac blooms in late summer to fall, later than most ceanothus varieties.

They are the perfect shrub for rockeries, gap fillers and pots, no work required and are enjoyable all year round, a garden must have!

Strong, bushy plants supplied in approx. 3-4 litre containers.


Please note that the pot in the photograph is not supplied with the plant (which is sent out in a simple nursery pot). Aspleniums do however make excellent potted plants, and if you wish to pot yours up, we do have a wide range of pots on our website to choose from.

Position: bright, and indirect

Soil: good potting compost available from us too.

Rate of growth: Fast

Hardiness: (Indoor)

Pachira aquatica does best in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight as this will scorch the leaves. Provide a temperature of between 12-24°C. Pachira plant thrives in a humid environment, so a bathroom is an ideal place for it. It also does well under fluorescent light, so it's great for office environments.

Current height: approximately 40cm (+ or - 10/20% including the pot) 

We pride ourselves on recycling and reusing as much as we can so not all our plants are packaged in recycled newspaper to aid our reduction of plastic waste.
