What better fall color than this 12″ spreading groundcover, perfect in large rock gardens. The deep blue flowers bloom continuously from August through October, accented by the bronzy red hue the foliage becomes when the weather cools.

An old fashioned favorite, this selection is one of the true joys of spring with large, long, silvery-gray foliage forming a substantial mound from which a parade of delicately cut, deep blue to purply-black flowers continue to bloom from early to mid-May right on through mid-July

Late spring brings with it a burst of these bewitchingly blue flowers that cover graceful but compact stalks. Red seed heads appear in late summer that add an extra dose of intrigue to your mixed border or landscape.

Here is the final result of the quest to breed a truly impressive and reliable Caryopteris with sunny yellow foliage and outstanding garden performance. Lil’ Miss Sunshine® is a cross between two other popular PW Caryopteris, ‘Sunshine Blue®’ and Petite Bleu™, combining the best traits of both. With the great landscape tightness and shiny foliage of Petite Bleu™ added to the brilliant yellow color ‘Sunshine Blue’, Lil Miss Sunshine® is a spakling mound of color for a full sun garden that intensifies as mid-August rolls around when the brilliant yellow foliage becomes a backdrop for masses of deep amethyst blue flowers. Talk about a WOW package, Lil Miss Sunshine® defined the term and you’ll marvel at how it brightens up the landscape or a container garden with its not so subtle coloration. Well drained soil is a must for this drought resistant, easy grow plant. It blooms on new wood so it can take pruning if needed but with its tight form, all you’ll really need to do enjoy the explosive color fireworks.

Dark and dreamy! You’ll love this new caryopteris – it has extremely dark, glossy foliage, a compact habit, and deep blue flowers. It adds much-needed color to the late summer landscape and makes a handsome companion with perennials. A great favorite with pollinators of all types!

Hang ten with an ocean of deep blue flowers in your yard! This compact, low-maintenance shrub produces a wave of stunning flowers from top to bottom. A perfect garden specimen from late summer through early fall, its sweet blue blooms are a butterfly magnet and make great cut flowers. Sapphire Surf is also deer resistant and drought tolerant making it an even better border or accent plant.

This improved golden Bluebeard (also known as Caryopteris) is beautiful and easygoing and will welcome butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds to play in your garden all summer long. And because it’s easy to grow, you’ll get to have even more time for fun this season.

Finally, a plant that is a vast improvement over ‘Worcester Gold’! You’ll go ga-ga over this dense growing plant that is loaded with color starting with thick, wide bright yellow foliage that keeps its color from its emergence in spring right through until fall. Providing a startling color contrast from August into September, deep blue flowers emerge making an already eye catching package into a plant you just can’t pass without stopping!

A great plant for late summer color as it bursts forth with purple-blue flowers in August. Low growing, mounding, and easy to grow, it prefers well drained soil and full sun. Late winter cutback provides impetus for loads of free flowering new growth.

Petite Bleu™ is one of the best kept late summer blooming secrets your customers will ever experience. Deep, shiny, dark green foliage is so tightly packed on its stems that Petite Bleu™ presents a pleasingly dense, tight mounding form in the garden that refuses to look anything but neat and well kept no matter when you see it. This foliage and form fades into the background once Petite Bleu™ begins to bloom in mid-August. Its flowers are by far the darkest of any Caryopteris displaying its impossibly deep blue flowers in such great numbers it might actually take your breath away! In color well into late September, it’s a beacon of cool blue in an otherwise drab summer/fall garden that will have you actually looking forward to the fall landscape instead of ignoring it. Well drained soil is an absolute must for this drought resistant, deer resistant, butterfly attracting beauty that will perfrom at its best in as much sun as your garden can deliver.
