I’ve always gone for Puget Blue for that intense deep blue. Having seen the pictures of Sheps’ Concha I’d say it’s pretty close too. The only thing I would add is that the Puget tends to be less ‘open’ and spreading than the Concha.
Thank you. That's good to know, as my garden isn't that big, so a more compact form that still has some height, would be ideal.
Just a quick update. I ended up getting a Concha and I''l say this about it: it was flowering away all of June, then had a brief pause, and is now re-covered in flowers of an amazingly intense blue again, first days in September. meanwhile, all other ceanothuses I have ever had or seen around are very much not in flower right now. Amazing variety!
@Sheps, I hope you don't mind me resurrecting this old thread I came across but I was stunned by your beautiful Ceanothus Concha and was wondering what height it had reached by now and whether you still had it in the same pot? I would love to hear if you still love it as I would very much like to purchase one. t i a
Thanks for sharing @Lizzie27, @dappledshade and @Dinnerplatedahlias🌸 may I also ask, do you find they yours flower twice in a season as Jess mentioned? I am obviously looking for maximum impact with colour etc. t i a

The flowers are just starting to open and the blue is electric.
