Ceanothus ‘El Dorado’ is a stunning, evergreen shrub that adds a splash of color and texture to your garden. This 2-litre plant is renowned for its vibrant yellow-green foliage, which creates a striking contrast with its deep blue, fragrant flowers. Blooming profusely from late spring to early summer, ‘El Dorado’ provides a beautiful display and is a magnet for bees, butterflies, and other pollinators.

For best results, plant Ceanothus ‘El Dorado’ in a sunny position with well-drained soil. It thrives in full sun, which encourages its rich flowering and maintains the vibrant color of its foliage. This shrub grows to about 1.5 meters (5 feet) in height and spread, making it ideal for borders, hedges, or as a standout feature in your garden.

Feed with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to support vigorous growth and abundant blooms. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain its shape and remove any dead or damaged branches. Regular pruning helps promote a bushier growth habit and encourages more blooms the following season.

‘El Dorado’ is excellent for supporting local wildlife. Its nectar-rich flowers attract essential pollinators, contributing to a healthy and diverse garden ecosystem. This low-maintenance shrub combines eye-catching beauty with ecological benefits, making it a valuable addition to any garden.
