Description
The Dark Knight Caryopteris is renowned for its profusion of intense, deep blue flowers that cover the shrub in a breathtaking display. These vibrant blossoms emerge in late summer and continue into fall, creating a striking contrast against the backdrop of its silvery-gray foliage. The flowers are a magnet for butterflies and bees, bringing life and movement to your garden while also supporting beneficial pollinators.
Standing at a mature height of 2 to 3 feet (0.6 to 0.9 meters) with a similar spread, the Dark Knight Caryopteris has a compact and mounding form. This makes it an ideal choice for borders, mass plantings, or as a focal point in smaller gardens. Its dense foliage and abundant flowers create a visually captivating display that is sure to leave a lasting impression.
Beyond its visual appeal, the Dark Knight Caryopteris is a tough and resilient shrub. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, making it suitable for a wide range of garden conditions. This Caryopteris variety is also known for its excellent drought tolerance, making it a perfect choice for water-wise landscapes or regions with hot summers.
