Cultivar Notes - 'First Choice'
'First Choice' exhibits compact mounds of dark green foliage and fragrant, dark purplish-blue flowers. Distinguished blooms appear a few weeks earlier than all of the other cultivars.
Genus Notes - Caryopteris
Caryopteris is a small shrub with slender, gray-green leaves and deep blue flowers that are as welcome as rain in the dog days of summer. Its late bloom and small size make it an ideal choice for a mixed border.
