Description

The 'Owlswood Blue' forms as a tall shrub or tree with dark green leaves and nice, showy cluster of soft deep blue, fragrant flowers. It is a heavy bloomer and can quickly reach a size of 10-15' tall and wide, thus making it a great choice for slopes. Deer love to browse on the leaves. This plant is not frost tolerant but does well in coastal areas. It is not particular about the soil but will appreciate extra moisture during hot summer months.
