Deciduous form of Californian lilac. It carries its main flush of flowers now on a bush five feet or more tall, and another smaller flush in the autumn. It will also take pruning - cut back to within a bud of the previous year's growth in spring as it starts to shoot.

DD - I've had this for seven years so far, and it's still extremely vigorous, so I'm hoping it's not going to suddenly die on me.

Could it have drowned after last winter?

Is this one short lived like the other varieties of Ceanothus?
