Known commonly as Bluebeard, Caryopteris x clandonensis 'Dark Knight' is a striking, deciduous shrub known for its vibrant blue-purple flowers and fragrant foliage. Blooming from August through to October, it creates a bold, eye-catching display that attracts pollinators, including bees and butterflies. The deep indigo flowers are complemented by aromatic, silvery-green leaves, adding both colour and texture to gardens. Growing to a height and spread of around 1.2m, ‘Dark Knight’ is an ideal choice for sunny borders, mixed beds, or as a standout specimen plant. Thriving in well-drained, moderately fertile soil and drought-tolerant once established, it is a low-maintenance option for gardens. The compact size and hardy nature make it well-suited for smaller spaces or urban gardens. Caryopteris 'Dark Knight' is also resistant to most pests and diseases, making it a reliable and long-lasting addition to any landscape. Its late-season blooms provide valuable colour and interest when many other plants have finished flowering.
