Nicole,

you must look for   Caryopteris divaricatus Snow Fairy.

Have only buy Caryopteris divaricatus two weeks ago at a special nursery, because we see it in the Botanic Garden of Krefeld (Germany) at the same day.

Nicole,

I only by the normal form.
The link for the nursery : http://www.stauden-diamant.de/
No catalogue (we ask), no trade in internet (we ask to). One of these little diamonds in the world of gardening I think.

Is this the plant you are looking for?  It grows very well for me here in southern Indiana, USA.  It grows in both light shade or full sun.  For me it reaches about 3 feet tall and blooms in September.  It does have an unpleasant smell to the foliage though, so I wouldn't plant it near a path where you might brush up against it.  It grows easily from cuttings, wish I could send some to you.  Good luck in finding it.
