Caryopteris × clandonensis
1 - 5 gallon pots ranging in price from $22.99 to $54.99 This deciduous shrub features long, graceful stems covered in small leaves. Those stems are loaded with blossoms at every leaf section when it is at peak bloom, which draws butterflies and bumblebees. There are many colorful foliage varieties to consider in addition to the familiar soft, silver-green version. Golden foliage is one of the most appealing; its bright yellow leaves create a stunning backdrop for the bright blue flowers. When bluebeard isn't in bloom, the foliage adds a visual lightness to the garden.
