Variegated Carmel Creeper. This is a beautiful spreading shrub that grows to 1 foot tall by 6 feet wide with rounded leaves that are a yellow lime-green color with splashes of dark green. Although most notable for its leaf coloration, as a bonus this plant has clusters of pale blue flowers in spring that display well against the vividly colored foliage. Plant in full sun to light shade in well drained soil and water occasionally to very little. Hardy to about 20° F. Ceanothus thyrsiflorus var. griseus 'Diamond Heights' is available this week in #1 and #5 containers.
