Beloved by bees and other pollinators, watch in delight as pollinators dance around Beyond Midnight Bluebeard, Caryopteris. In late summer intensely blue flowers begin to bloom and continue nonstop until frost. These nectar-rich flowers are not only good for pollinators, stems may be cut and brought indoors for delightful bouquets. Glossy dark green leaves compliment the showy blue flowers. Growing about 2′ Beyond Midnight is a perfect choice for a showy small hedge, mixed into a perennial garden or planted along a slope.

Bluebeards are short-lived shrubs that perform in dry, poor soils in full sun. Living usually about of 5 years in total, what they lack in longevity they make up for in flower power. Shear down to the ground in winter or spring to give your Bluebeard the best form.
