I would definitely buy this product again.
Ordering and delivery were excellent. Plant has now grown into a good size bush with attractive foliage and flowers.

This shrub is deciduous so it will lose all its leaves in autumn, then fresh new foliage appears again each spring.
"Looks very becoming planted as a backdrop to low-growing architectural grasses or underplanted with summer bulbs such as galtonia and acidanthera"

I have put aside a sunny corner for wildlife and thought this would give a bit of late colour and nectar. It first flowered in September and I came across it by surprise when moving pots for bulb planting. It is only in its first year but although it does have blue flowers they are so small they don't really attract anything and the whole shrub is rather scruffy. Having said that, the plant supplied is healthy and growing, just not to my taste.

I am delighted with Crocus and my caryopsis as I can rely on crocus to always supply the best plants. I only buy from Crocus now as superior to any other nursery for healthy plants that thrive

I have tried growing this very beautiful plant a couple of times, more recently last year. It gives tremendous pleasure in its very noticeable glow of warm blue. I was hugely disappointed to find it had not made it through the winter. We live in a protected area facing south east and I don't think the temperature dropped to -15 which is the plant's stated limit. I intend to buy it again for this summer's enjoyment and to write myself a note to mulch it in a warm bed for next year's cold spell.

I have three such plants in a clump for late summer interest and beauty in the afternoon sun. I have them near my lavender group, which have usually finished by the time these come into flower. Unless I am mistaken, the leaves are fragrant if crushed.

Used in a bed next to patio. Grew well in first year. Beautiful shade of blue and a find it hard to resist rubbing the leaves to smell them. One of my favourite plants.

Hello Pamela, You can do the herbaceous perennials anytime between now and spring, but the Caryopteris and Lavenders should be tackled in spring. I hope this helps. Helen Plant Doctor
