Very attractive small shrub. Grows very well (yet sheltered) in Belgium (zone 8).
'Grand Bleu' (aka 'Inoveris') is the result of in vitro mutagenesis by INRA, France

it is a beautiful trouble free plant. We have been warm enough here in winter to keep them alive above the ground. They have nice healthy looking leaves and are tough. I cut them to the ground anyway because they do grow so well. Expect 3'x3' here in Central Illinois.

Caryopteris clandonensis 'Grand Bleu' BLUE MIST SHRUB Dec (z5) (Cut,Hon,Bfly)
The same DEEP blue flowers as 'Heavenly Blue' but over a longer summer bloom period and on a plant half the size! (to 2-3'high & wide)...now EVERYone can enjoy it even in a container or small yard. Sun/Med/GDr

In a more mild climates it is a small (60 cm) deciduous shrub, but in more colder climates it will die down to its roots...so more behaving like a herbacious perennial. It flowers on the new first year growth. Because of its size Gran Blue is suitable to grow in a container.
