Sky blue flowers appear during the summer doldrums providing nice contrast to silver/green foliage and welcome color. Clusters of delicate blue flowers smother this beauty from late summer until frost. The sweet nectar makes it a feeding station stop for butterflies and other pollinators.

General Information:
Caryopteris offer up clusters of delicate blue flowers from late summer until frost. Low arching habit and soft gray foliage are a perfect complement in the perennial border. Provides hard to find midsummer color.
Plant Care:
Blooms on current season's growth, so prune hard in early spring after leaves appear to remove dead growth and encourage blooms. May self sow lightly. Rooted stems may be separated from parent and transplanted in spring. Attractive to butterflies and works well in containers. Avoid wet soils.
