Caryopteris divaricata 'Snow Fairy'

Snow Fairy variegated blue mist shrub

Snow Fairy's outstanding white-rimmed leaves provide a delicate and full texture in the border all summer. Its habit is compact and well-branched, and it shows beautifully in a nursery pot. In late summer or early fall it is topped with airy blue flowers with long curved stamens, resembling hundreds of floating butterflies. Leaves are slightly aromatic when crushed, but are not as strongly scented as the species.
