Bluebeard, sometimes called “Blue Mist Shrub” for its clouds of blue flowers borne along upright stems, is a late summer showstopper. Butterflies love drinking from the blooms. ‘Longwood Blue’ is a taller selection that flowers later than other types, giving you color deep into the season. Striking when mass-planted. (Caryopteris x clandonensis)

Description

'Longwood Blue' is a fantastic mid-sized shrub for landscape beds, perennial borders, and as a mass foundation planting. Hardy in zones 5-9, ‘Longwood Blue’ can be pruned hard to the ground each year to produce evenly-rounded, fresh growth. In colder zones, low winter temperatures can kill the top growth to the ground; otherwise, cut plants back in the spring. Plant in full sun in average to moist, but well-drained soil. 'Longwood Blue' is drought tolerant once established. For maximum impact, plant in groups of three or more. Will sometimes sucker and spread in warmer climates.

Started off dormant, but was vibrant by end of season.

"When this plant arrived this year it was JUST breaking dormancy. It was mostly "sticks" with some leaves on it, but the roots were healthy and so I decided to give it a go. It ended the season with substantial growth and the leaves bushed out nicely on it. It is still small, given its mature size, at the end of the season, but I am excited to see how much it grows next year. Like some of our shrubs, it takes awhile before you get to see the plant in all its glory!"

— Leigh (5/5)

Late Bloomer, Worth The Wait

"Going into my 4th season, this has become one of my favorites. It blooms late season for me, around August here in Colorado. But it blooms prolifically, and the color is almost iridescent. Good way to close out the season for the bees, who love it."

— Ross (5/5)

I would buy this again but it took a couple years to take of

"It took a good two years to take off but in mass it is beautiful"
