    Hello all

    I hope you are well.

    I have a Ceanothus in the Front Garden which I am trying to identify.

    All I know for sure is that it is relatively short growing at approximately 4', it has a Variegated Leaf and a Blue Flower.

    This is it:

    Does anyone have an idea as to which Cultivar it may be?

    Thanks in advance

    Kevin

      Hello Kevin, I'll stick my neck out and say 'Eldorado' :) The green, central variegation looks too regular and generous to be 'Madagascar'.

        Hello @noisette47

        Thanks for the Reply.

        It could be 'Eldorado' except for the Size as the RHS Website says it grows to 8'.

        I do not think it is 'Madagascar' as the Flower is totally different.

        I have been doing some Searching and came across 'Lemon Ice', any thoughts?

        Thanks

        Kevin

        That looks distinctly possible :)
