Compact (to only 2-3') with a dense (& intense!) display of DEEP blue fall flowers on glossy green foliage... this newcomer from France has it ALL! Great in container or border. Sun/Med/GdDrain PPatent14674 CBRAF

A dramatic improvement over an already great shrub. Developed in Angers, France by noted plantsman Jean-Paul Devasse of Minier Nurseries. This superior form with loads of dark, deep, intense blue flowers over dark, glossy green foliage. Compact branching & short internodes, which means more blooms per stem, result in an intense floral display creating a magnet, like all Caryopteris, for butterflies. A COLOR CHOICE selection. The shortest Caryopteris in the trade. PP146748
