Hi, my daughter asked me what my neighbours plant was called as she liked the look of it. I am rubbish with garden flower names so asked my neighbour, he says his brother planted them 20 years ago and he has forgotten! But he has a small plant in a pot if my daughter wants it. Can anyone put all three of us out of our misery please?

    It looks like Caryopteris clandonensis to me.  It has blue flowers during late summer and autumn.

    I agree, Caryopteris Chandonensis. The Blue Beard. Could be Heavenly Blue.
