Caryopteris is a low-maintenance, small deciduous shrub with colourful blooms in late summer and autumn. Flower colours range from white and baby pink through to all shades of blue. The mounds of downy aromatic leaves range from mid-green to silver to variegated, with silvery undersides. Thriving in full sun and tolerant of drought, this is an attractive shrub for a cottage, gravel or wildlife garden.
