This is in my front garden. It started life as a three main stemmed shrub. As an experiment I removed two stems and various side branches to give a topiary effect. It's now a good sized plant that I trim after flowering to keep the shape.

Thanks, it's in flower just now. The problem later is how to get past all the other planting to get the ladder in to trim it!

I love Ceanothus :)
Mine's just finished flowering and i cut it back yesterday, just to keep it in shape !

It's become a bit of an exercise to cut back now that's it's bigger. I have to get the step ladders into the border - not an easy task!

Hello Dottydaisy2, Ualda, Gilli and Bonkersbon - Thanks for that. I'm pleased you like it. The flowers have gone over now and it needs a bit of a tidy up. Once I've figured out how to get the ladders in the shrubbery and deal with it, I'll post another picture.

Ceonothus is one of my favorites and this is beautiful. So many blooms. I have one in my front garden which was a replacement for two beautiful ones I planted in the back which suddenly died off. Never happened before, I was really disappointed. Hopefully the new one should grow up to frame the front window.

Thanks for that, Tink. It badly needs tidying up now but with all the rain we've had I've just never had the chance. I've sort of topiaried (is that a word?) it and I like the look of it once it's been trimmed. Will hopefully get that done at the weekend.

Grrrr rain! I have been looking at my new greenhouse - in it's boxes - for 2 weeks! Going mad here lol. Not sure about your new word but new words are good. My girls and I have our own language according to their Dad lol.
