Caryopteris GRAND BLEU™ (x clandonensis 'Inoveris' PP17837 COPF)
Common Name: Blue Mist Shrub, Bluebeard
GRAND BLEU™ is a French cultivar with a smaller, more manageable habit. It works well in large containers or in the landscape. This woody perennial forms a uniform, rounded mound of glossy, deep green foliage that is topped by deep intense blue-purple flowers from midsummer until the first frost. The flower clusters are spaced closer together on the stem and are a brighter blue, so they give a showier display than some older cultivars.
This late bloomer is especially valuable because it looks its best when many other perennials are done for the season. When planted in mass, it will surely catch everyone's attention, and the foliage will remain fresh-looking all summer long due to its drought tolerance.
Many consider GRAND BLEU™ to be the very best Blue Mist Shrub available today.
Caryopteris is a woody perennial or sub-shrub that grows to be the size of a small shrub. In fact, it can be used in place of shrubs in the landscape. Allow it plenty of space to achieve maximum impact.
