(Bluebeard) Forget about growing other yellow-leaf Caryopteris varieties: Sunshine Blue® is the standard for gold-leaf Bluebeard, and that's just the leaves! This variety of Caryopteris is larger, more woody, and hardier than the typical. Stronger growing than 'Worcester Gold', it also has larger, brighter yellow foliage. Sunshine Blue® has rich blue appealing flowers that overwhelm the pale blue blooms of other cultivars. The flowers and foliage have a pleasant scent that attracts butterflies, and may be cut for use in arrangements. Its golden yellow foliage creates a beautiful backdrop for the rich blue flower. It is a great contrast plant that will add season long color to the garden, looks stunning next to dark green plants. Bluebeard is a useful plant in the landscape, especially for drier conditions. Use it in perennial beds, mixed borders, or as a mass planting in dry, sunny areas. Deer resistant. Sunshine Blue® Caryopteris dies back to the ground in the northern states (roots are hardy).
