We have been thrilled at the vigor, durability, and overall performance of Caryopteris 'Gold Crest' from the breeders at Ball Hort. This amazing deciduous shrub matures to 3' tall x 5' wide, with a lovely rounded habit and great vigor. The stems are clothed with bright yellow foliage, strongly scented of menthol. The foliage is further highlighted from August through September with an abundance of cymes of blue flowers. The flowers are in turn adorned with a fascinating array of pollinator insects. Caryopteris 'Gold Crest' sets the new standard for gold leaf Caryopteris x clandonensis hybrids.
