Caryopteris x clandonensis 'Dark Knight'
Caryopteris x clandonensis 'Dark Knight' is an undemanding, free-flowering shrub with attractive silver-grey foliage and a neat, bushy habit. Its softly coloured leaves provide valuable texture and contrast throughout the growing season.
Clusters of rich mid-blue flowers open in late summer and autumn, bringing vivid colour to the garden when many other shrubs have finished flowering. The nectar-rich blooms provide an important late-season food source for bees, butterflies and other pollinating insects.
Easy to grow and low maintenance, 'Dark Knight' thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. It is ideal for sunny borders, gravel gardens and wildlife-friendly planting schemes, where its compact form and late flowering display create lasting interest.
