Noted for its silver foliage, Caryopteris x clandonensis ‘Lissilv’ or ‘Sterling Silver’ is a compact, bushy deciduous shrub of upright habit with an abundance of intense violet-blue flowers in late summer to fall. Borne atop woody stems clothed with silvery-green aromatic leaves, they are attractive to butterflies, bees and other beneficial insects.
