Valued for its compact habit and late flowering, this selection offers clusters of dark blue flowers on short stems appearing just as other ceanothus are finishing their show. 4 – 5 ft. tall and 6 – 7 ft. wide with shiny evergreen foliage. This would be a ceanothus to try in hot areas. ‘Skylark’ is believed to be a cross between Ceanothus thyrsiflorus and C. velutinus. Shrubby ceanothus provide seeds eaten by bushtits, mockingbirds, quail and finches, as well as cover for birds.
