RE: Caryopteris/ Blue Mist Spirea

I have the Dark Knight or whatever it is called on a full sun, dry, sloping
bed and it does well.

I have Longwood blue in a west facing, flat bed and does well.  It is near a
rain drain and in Oregon, that says something.  It still does well.  This
one has made seedlings.

I have Worchester gold in a semi-shade situation and it does well, even with
a clematis scrambling through it.

For mine is a little old-fashioned garden where the flowers come
together to praise the Lord and teach all who look upon them to do
likewise.

I AM in shape.  ROUND is a shape!
