Hi Everybody
I just did a search on the Forum for this plant and there doesn't seem to be a single posting. Somebody must grow it as there were at one time seeds of Caryopteris x clandonensis 'Heavenly Blue' on offer via Chantal and the MGS seed bank. They didn't germinate for me - perhaps being a hybrid the seeds were not fertile?
If it is as drought, heat and cold resistant as I have read it is, I would have thought it would have been in everybody's garden. Unfortunately, I don't have a photo to show you of the magnificent display of flowers I saw in Clisshold Park, London last September. I have tried in vain to grow various types of Ceanothus and I am going to experiment with Caryopteris as a substitute. 3 small plants of Caryopteris x clandonensis 'Heavenly Blue' arrived last week. Any tips on what, and what not, to do?
