IME ceanothus are not long-lived, but assuming it was newly bought from a garden centre, it shouldn't have popped its clogs yet. The weather has been dry over the last few weeks and is especially hot ATM. Did you water it a) in its pot before you planted it b) when you planted it and c) have you watered it since? A way to see it it's still alive is to scratch the bark of a twig with your thumbnail. If the wood just under the bark is green, it's still alive. If not, try scratching another spot a bit further down the stem. It should have had a good soak in a bucket of water before planting then every couple of days a good bucket of water in the evening for each plant so that the water soaks down to the roots at the bottom. Messing about with a watering can with a rose on it is the worst thing that a person can do in this weather. |
