A hot new flowering shrub from the master plantsmen at Proven Winners Color Choice Shrubs, Sunshine Blue Caryopteris is a very hardy, totally deer resistant deciduous shrub with striking lemon-yellow foliage that does not burn, even in August! This delightful shrub brightens up every garden with sunny lemon-yellow foliage and electric blue-amethyst flowers that bloom in late summer into the fall. A mid-size shrub, Caryopteris Sunshine Blue matures to a height and width of 3' x 3'.

Use this compact blooming shrub in any perennial garden, planted in masses for a dramatic impact or as an accent shrub. Plant Caryopteris Sunshine Blue with purple and black foliage deer resistant shrubs such as Weigela 'Midnight Wine', Sambucus 'Black Lace' or Heuchera 'Dolce Licorice' for a knockout contrast in the garden. Reliably cold hardy to USDA hardiness zone 5, Caryopteris Sunshine Blue breaks dormancy later in spring around the same time as Perovskia atriplicifolia 'Russian Sage' or Itea 'Little Henry'.

You can order Caryopteris Sunshine Blue in 1 gallon or 2 gallon nursery containers grown pesticide-free, using only sustainable organic methods from Farm Fresh Living or Stargazer Perennials.
