Caryopteris clandonensis 'Sterling Silver'Caryopteris clandonensisBluebeard

A perfect match of mid-blue flowers against silver foliage, creating a soft haze of blue which associates beautifully with ornamental grasses. Caryopteris clandonensis 'Sterling Silver' is an especially compact variety, reaching only 2 foot high making it suitable for the front of dry sunny borders or patio containers.

This upright, deciduous shrub is perfect for dry, hot, sunny borders, happily thriving in thin soils and surviving periods of drought. Erect stems clothed in toothed, aromatic, silver foliage carry whorls of small, mid-blue flowers with spidery anthers which are a bee and butterfly magnet. Flowering commences in August and continues through to Autumn, making this a very useful shrub for injecting much needed late colour into borders and pots. Height: 60cm (24in). Spread: 50cm (20in).

Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.
