Several ''Caryopteris'' species are grown as [[ornamental plant]]s in gardens. Like ''[[Buddleja]]'', the woody stems can die back in the winter, particularly in colder climates. They prefer well-drained soil in full sun, but does not need especially rich soil or constant moisture.

Caryopteris (Greek for nut and wing). Verbenaceae. Ornamental woody plants grown for their lavender-blue flowers profusely produced in autumn.CH

Deciduous small shrubs: lvs. opposite, short-petioled, serrate: fls. in axillary cymes; calyx campanulate, deeply 5-lobed with lanceolate teeth, spreading and somewhat enlarged in fr.; corolla 5-lobed, with short cylindric tube and spreading limb, 1 segm. larger and fringed; stamens 4, exserted, 2 of them longer; style slender, 2-parted at the apex: fr. separating into 4 somewhat winged nutlets.—About 16 species in E.
