Late-Season Blue Flowers & Low-Maintenance Beauty

This deciduous shrub is brand new and released for sale for the first in 2021, this is particularly interesting for our nursery as it was found here by myself and named after my partner. This continues our line of Caryopteris where we also have Jason, named after me!
