We would like to have more Blue Pacific in our garden so have tried to get cuttings to strike. No luck no matter what we do, are we wasting our time trying. Should we just buy a new plant.
Propagating Ceanothus from cuttings
Taking cuttings will produce a new, flowering plant in two to three years.
Take semi-ripe cuttings from your Ceanothus between mid-summer and autumn, taking care to select healthy, current season growth.
To help rooting, take heel cuttings, where a sideshoot is pulled away from a main stem with a sliver of bark attached, and by keeping cuttings in a heated propagator.
Cuttings usually need a growing season before they have rooted well and can be potted on or planted out
