Cool your garden in mid-summer with Caryopteris 'Snow
Fairy'. A plant providing contrast, its green and white
tidy leaves and structure set off the green of other
plants. It grows about 36 inches high and is often used as
a specimen ( only need one) in mid border or at the corner
of a garden where it may look like a neat little shrub. It
does not begin to grow early in the spring, but by June it
has good size and shape. Plant now to establish good root
system. I don't care if it ever blooms (small blue flowers)
because the foliage and shape are so attractive throughout
the season. Hardy for me for four years, it, as the name
implies, enjoyed three feet of snow piled on it last
winter. Scott and Zannah made a great choice in selecting
this plant.
