Caryopteris 'Longwood Blue'
Common Name: Blue Mist Shrub, Bluebeard
An abundance of fragrant, soft violet-blue blossoms radiate from the silvery-green, spicy-scented foliage of this variety from late summer into fall. This late bloomer is especially valuable because it looks its best when many other perennials are done for the season. The beautiful blossoms can also be cut for bouquets that will last a week or longer.
Forming a large, airy mass, C. 'Longwood Blue' makes an outstanding filler plant in the border. Groups planted in sunny, dry areas will catch everyone's attention, and the foliage will remain fresh-looking all summer long due to its drought tolerance. Selected at Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, PA.
