Caryopteris 'Sunshine Blue'
Blue Mist Shrub
zones 5-9
 
Description:  This outstanding new selection is a stronger grower with larger, brighter yellow foliage. The rich amethyst blue flowers are much darker than those of C. 'Worcester Gold'. They are excellent cut flowers, lasting for weeks in a vase. This late bloomer is especially valuable because it looks its best when many other perennials are done for the season. When planted in mass, it will surely catch everyone's attention, and the foliage will remain fresh-looking all summer long due to its drought tolerance.
Bloom Color: Blue
Bloom Time: July-August
Foliage Color: Yellow
Height: 36-48"
Spread: 36-48"
