Showy white-variegated foliage beautifully combined with masses of late summer violet-blue flowers make this non-burning selection gorgeous in border or container; from the Netherlands. S/M USPP EH20070834

The Variegated sport of 'Heavenly Blue' is stable! Blooms early in the season with whorls of blue blooms around the stem. Great flower power. Dies back to the ground in zone 5 but returns in spring. Green with creamy white margins. No indication of leaf scorch. Now a Caryopteris that's a 3 season plant! Compact and tidy at 3' x 3'. PPAF
