Notes
'Lisaura' caryopteris (Caryopteris clandonensis 'Lisaura') is a shrub for borders, mass plantings, and fragrant gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full sun and average moisture. It bears dark blue flowers from mid to late summer into early autumn. The plant is drought tolerant once settled in, so it suits low-care beds.
Pairs well with Blazing star, Feather reed grass, and Indigo.
