Caryopteris incana 'Hint of Gold'
Caryopteris 'Hint of Gold' is a striking deciduous shrub that brings fresh colour and late-season interest to the garden. Its vibrant lime-green serrated foliage provides a bold backdrop from spring onwards, before being topped with masses of lavender-blue flower spikes in late summer and early autumn. The contrasting colours create a lively display that brightens borders just as other plants begin to fade.
The nectar-rich flowers are highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, making it an excellent choice for wildlife-friendly gardens. Compact and easy to grow, ‘Hint of Gold’ thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. Holder of the RHS Award of Garden Merit, it combines reliability with eye-catching performance, perfect for mixed borders or as a colourful feature plant.
