Ceanothus ‘El Dorado’ is an spreading evergreen shrub with an upright habit. Glossy variegated leaves with a dark centre and yellow edge provide all year interest. Blue fragrant flowers bloom in spring. Ideal to use for hedging and screening.A low maintenance shrub suitable for full sun or partial shade best planted in fertile well draining soils. Susceptible to damage in strong winds but responds well to heavy regenerative pruning.
Once established, shrubs generally do not require much water. However, at first they need careful, frequent watering and should not be left to dry out.
Shrubs in the ground are generally not demanding and in most cases, annual feeding with general purpose fertilizer will suffice. Shrubs in containers may need more feeding; usually from early spring until late summer.
