Caryopteris <i Blue Spirea 
Blue Mist Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00 
(Mastacanthus x Mongolica). This charming low growing shrub is a very real 
contribution to the meager list of summer and fall flowering shrubs. It is covered 
from August till autumn frost with numerous clusters of powdery blue, fringed 
flowers. This shrub grows about 18 to 24 inches tall and is perfectly rounded, 
making a small mound about 2 feet in diameter. The foliage is lanceolate and 
slightly toothed and silvery green in color. A truly worth-while plant for the 
flower border as well as for in front of the shrubbery border. Perfectly hardy and 
particularly valuable because it is one of the latest flowering shrubs.

A delightfully deep blue colored autumn flowering shrub. It is the dark blue form 
of Caryopteris Blue Mist which Wayside Gardens introduced several years ago. 
Heavenly Blue is our own origination; the result of crosses and selections made at 
Mentor. 
Heavenly Blue is upright in growth. When mature, it is about 15 to 18 inches in Cc : 
diameter and 18 to 24 inches tall. One shrub will produce 30 or more beautiful aryopteris, 
deep blue flower spikes, a color which we all know is quite rare at any time and Blue Mist 
particularly so in the autumn garden. It does best in a light soil; in fact, the 
sandier the better, and must be grown in full sun. It comes to perfection in a 
warm, dry, sunny spot. We consider this new shrub one of the finest things 
available for rich autumn color. 
Caryopteris, Heavenly Blue
