Caryopteris Blue Mist #3

Caryopteris × clandonensis ‘Blue Mist’ (Bluebeard or Blue Mist Spirea) is a compact, deciduous shrub known for its soft, silvery-green foliage and abundant clusters of bright, powder-blue flowers that bloom from late summer into early fall, when few other shrubs are in color. It forms a neat, rounded to slightly mounded shape with slender stems and aromatic leaves that release a light herbal scent when brushed. The airy blue blossoms appear in dense whorls along the upper stems, attracting bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. Drought tolerant and low maintenance, ‘Blue Mist’ adds long-lasting color and fine texture to borders, pollinator gardens, and mass plantings, making it a reliable choice for sunny landscapes.
