Overview

The Heavenly Blue Bluebeard, Caryopteris x clandonensis 'Heavenly Blue', is a compact deciduous shrub reaching 2-3 feet in height and width. Prized for its vibrant, deep blue flowers that bloom from late summer to fall, it provides a striking contrast against silvery-green foliage. Drought tolerant upon establishment, it prefers full sun and well-drained soil. Ideal for borders or as an accent plant, it attracts butterflies and is deer resistant.
