Re: [SG] Caryopteris/ Blue Mist Spirea
Hello Jean,
You are the second individual who mentions growing Caryopteris
Worchester Gold in part shade with good results. Think it is the leaf
coloration?
With this heat, no rain and high humidity there will be no planting in
the garden until around September at best this year. May move pots around
and see how things look in different combinations, but no digging and
planting. No sense in killing plants due to my impatience. Spending most of
our time watering the plants in the nursery to keep them alive.
Would it be possible for someone with better connections than I to do a
rain dance for Southern Indiana?
