I have grown this plant in zone 5B for three years. It is in a sheltered site, and I protect it with pine boughs during the winter.

I just bought this cultivar from a big box store at a greatly reduced price as it was looking pretty poorly. But I knew appearances were deceiving & it just needed repotting, more light, & a good pruning. I've now tended to all that & hope to see it revive some this fall. Since my zone is 8b, I won't have problems overwintering it & hope to have photos to add next year. Been looking for some Caryopteris for a while now but couldn't afford it at the high end nurseries - the only places I saw it carried at.

Absolutely beautiful little shrub, but did not live through the winter in Zone 5b.
