Comments
Year 1
Similar to Caryopteris Hclandonensis ‘Longwood Blue’ Retail florist were asking for more; All the plants I have listed from the perennial trials as 100% dead, may still be alive under mulch, I will know in the spring (Zone 6b); These plants are growing but still small – excessive rain, hurt development and killed some; I lost a lot of these, I think they just stayed too wet this summer; Second season will tell all for this plant.
