CARYOPTERIS C. WORCESTER GOLD

Caryopteris ‘Worcester Gold’ is valued for its golden-yellow foliage and clear blue late-season blooms. The aromatic leaves make a bright mound through summer, then clusters of blue flowers appear from late summer into autumn and are attractive to pollinators. Best in full sun and well-drained soil (including light, sandy or chalky ground), it forms a compact, deciduous plant around 60–90cm tall and wide; avoid waterlogged sites and excessive winter wet.
