Bluebeard (Caryopteris × clandonensis) is a compact, deciduous shrub known for its vibrant blue to violet flower clusters that bloom in late summer to early fall, when few other shrubs are in bloom. Its aromatic, gray-green foliage adds texture and contrast in the garden, and the flowers are highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. Typically growing 2–3 feet tall and wide, Bluebeard prefers full sun and well-drained soil, making it ideal for borders, rock gardens, or pollinator gardens. It is drought-tolerant once established and requires minimal maintenance, offering long-lasting color and seasonal interest.
