Caryopteris x clandonensis First Blue - Blue Beard - In Bud & Bloom

Caryopteris 'First Blue' is a fantastic low-growing hardy shrub for the late summer garden. It produces large clusters of azure blue flowers from August through October and often beyond. The flowers appear over the stems, which are covered in aromatic, grey-green leaves. Caryopteris has a strongly upright growing habit, making it a fantastic choice for the middle of a sunny shrub or mixed border. It can also be combined with other plants or used in a group for greater impact.

Also known as 'Blue Beard,' Caryopteris is perfect for beneficial pollinators and insects, proving a magnet for bees and butterflies. Once established, it is also reliably drought tolerant, which is handy in hot, dry summers as the plants can look after themselves.

Supplied in approx. 2-3 litre containers.
