"I Have to Friggin Move That" - Caryopteris 'Sunshine Blue'
Quick one today.

Overall size is super small as I know it can get close to three feet high and wide. We’re talking about a foot and a half current day. The blooms are also very weak as I’ve seen these blooms their butts off and it is oh so welcome this time of year.

I can’t believe it performed even this well considering this deciduous shrub needs a well drained soil. How I ever moved it here is beyond my comprehension but the deer really did leave it alone. Must be that sweet lemony scent of the leaves.
So after some willy nilly careful planning, I found a new home for the drenched plant:
Six times is a charm, right?
It better be, those blooms are a sight for sore eyes and I need more of them:
