Product Description

Caryopteris 'Sunsine Blue' incana 'Jason' PPAF

Common Name: Blue Mist Shrub, Bluebeard Bloom color: Amethyst-blue Height: 36" Bloom: July-Oct Hardiness: Zone 5-9 Light: Sun Soil: Well-drained, humus rich soil Why you need this plant: Developed by Peter Champion of England. A marked improvement over C. 'Worcester Gold', this outstanding new selection is a stronger grower with larger, brighter yellow foliage. The rich amethyst blue flowers are much darker than those of C. 'Worcester Gold'. They are excellent cut flowers, lasting for weeks in a vase.

This late bloomer is especially valuable because it looks its best when many other perennials are done for the season. When planted in mass, it will surely catch everyone's attention, and the foliage will remain fresh-looking all summer long due to its drought tolerance.

Caryopteris is a woody perennial or sub-shrub that grows to be the size of a small shrub. In fact, it can be used in place of shrubs in the landscape. Allow it plenty of space to achieve maximum impact.

Deer resistant.

Planting Info: Caryopteris grows best in full sun and loose, loamy, well-drained soil. It is very tolerant of heat and drought and detests wet soil. Flowers are formed on new growth, so the stems can be cut back at any time. In fact, the best time to prune caryopteris is just after the new growth starts to appear in spring. Fall pruning is not recommended.
