Caryopteris x clandonensis 'First Choice'

The richly saturated colour of these late-summer blooms steals the show just as other garden flowers are beginning to fade.Caryopteris x clandonensis 'First Choice' is smothered with indigo-blue flower clusters from late summer into autumn, all atop compact, aromatic foliage. Its neat, rounded form and earlier flowering habit bring a splash of deep colour to sunny borders, containers, cottage gardens, gravel or Mediterranean schemes, while drawing in bees and butterflies. Exceptionally low-maintenance, drought-tolerant once established and resilient to deer and rabbits, Caryopteris x clandonensis 'First Choice' is a perfect choice for dry, chalky soils. RHS Award of Garden Merit. Ultimate height and spread: 60cm (24in) to 90cm (35in).
