Add a touch of brightness to your garden even when not in bloom with Ceanothus 'Cool Blue'. This striking variety of California Lilac is highly prized for its decorative, silver-edged foliage. Unlike standard green varieties, 'Cool Blue' features small, glossy leaves with a distinct creamy-white margin, providing excellent year-round interest and "cooling" the visual landscape of your garden.

In late spring and early summer, this evergreen shrub is adorned with dainty clusters of pale, powder-blue flowers that create a soft, ethereal look against the variegated leaves. With a naturally compact and upright habit, it is an ideal choice for smaller gardens, patio containers, or as a bright accent in a sunny border. Supplied in a 3Ltr pot, this established specimen is ready to provide immediate architectural value to your outdoor space.

Key Features:

  • Stunning Variegation: Beautiful silver-white edged leaves provide year-round decorative appeal.

  • Soft Floral Display: Clusters of pale blue flowers appear in abundance throughout late spring.

  • Compact Habit: Grows neatly, making it perfect for smaller garden spaces and large pots.

  • Evergreen Interest: Maintains its bright, variegated foliage through all four seasons.

  • Established 3Ltr Pot: A well-developed plant with a strong root system, superior to smaller liners.

Planting & Care Instructions:

  • Position: Thrives in full sun. Place in a sheltered spot to protect the variegated foliage from cold, drying winds.

  • Soil: Prefers well-drained, fertile soil. Does not tolerate sitting in waterlogged ground.

  • Watering: Water regularly during the first year. Once established, it is moderately drought-tolerant.

  • Feeding: Apply a slow-release fertiliser in early spring to support the variegation and flowering.
