Dark Knight

Dark Knight Caryopteris (Bluebeard) is a compact, easy-care shrub that delivers vibrant blue flowers in late summer—right when most landscapes need color most. Its silvery green foliage, drought tolerance, and strong appeal to bees and butterflies make it a perfect choice for sunny borders, foundations, and pollinator gardens. Cut back in early spring and enjoy months of bold color with minimal maintenance.
