Caryopteris divaricata

Bluebeard

A herbaceous caryopteris valued for its late-summer blue flowers and upright habit. Caryopteris divaricata comes into flower as the season turns, adding colour and structure when earlier plantings are beginning to fade. Best grown in full sun with good drainage, it is cut back in spring as new growth emerges and integrates easily into mixed borders.
