Sunshine Blue® Caryopteris (Bluebeard)

Caryopteris SUNSHINE BLUE 'Jason ™' PPAF PBRAF
 

Forget about growing other yellow Caryopteris varieties: SUNSHINE BLUE is the new standard for gold-leaf bluebeard. Stronger growing than ‘Worcester Gold,’ it also has larger, brighter yellow foliage. And that’s just the leaves! Sunshine Blue has rich blue flowers that overwhelm the pale blue blooms of other cultivars.
Caryopteris is a valuable plant for the garden, providing late season blooms when many other plants have passed their prime. The rich blue flowers are appealing, as there are few options for blue color in the landscape. Although cold hardy to Zone 5, northern gardeners may experience some die back in Caryopteris plants. As the blooms are produced by new growth, this will not affect summer flowering. Even as a dieback shrub, bluebeard is a useful plant, especially for drier conditions. Use it in the mixed border, or as a mass planting in dry, sunny areas. The flowers and foliage have a pleasant scent, and may be cut for use in arrangements.
