I\'ve had this bush almost 2 years now in the Sacramento, Northern California area.
It bloomed this spring and it was beautiful but it is getting leggy and dry looking. I\'ve read where they don\'t like to be watered much so I\'m careful about that.
I\'m not sure which type of Ceanothus I have, it doesn\'t have the large clusters of flowers like most of them. Mine has tiny blue individual flowers and the leaves are small.
It doesn\'t get much sun except in the evening for a couple of hours.
I understand that it doesn\'t much like fertiliser either.
I\'m looking for suggestions as to how I can help this plant to bloom longer and look healthier.
Thanks
