Caryopteris Longwood Blue #3

Caryopteris × clandonensis ‘Longwood Blue’ (Longwood Blue Bluebeard) is a compact, deciduous shrub valued for its long-lasting display of rich, deep blue flowers that bloom from late summer into early fall. It forms a tidy, rounded to slightly mounded shape with aromatic, gray-green to silvery foliage that provides soft texture and contrast throughout the growing season. Dense clusters of vivid cobalt-blue blossoms cover the upper stems, creating a colorful haze that attracts bees, butterflies, and other pollinators when few other shrubs are flowering. Heat and drought tolerant once established, ‘Longwood Blue’ is an easy-care choice for sunny borders, mass plantings, and pollinator or cottage gardens, offering reliable late-season color and a neat, manageable size.
