Caryopteris Dark Knight
Caryopteris Dark Knight (Bluebeard) is a low-mounding deciduous shrub featuring aromatic, dull green lace-shaped foliage with silvery undersides. From summer into fall, Caryopteris Dark Knight produces profuse clusters of fragrant, deep purplish-blue flowers on new wood, adding striking late-season color to gardens. This low-maintenance Caryopteris Dark Knight thrives in full sun with loamy, well-drained soils and tolerates some drought once established, making it ideal for sunny borders, pollinator gardens, and mixed shrub beds.
