Description How to Grow More Info Delivery

Deep purple flowers are matched handsomely with especially silvery foliage in this popular variety of Caryopteris. Caryopteris ‘Dark Knight’ is an upright, deciduous shrub which is perfect for dry, hot, sunny borders, happily thriving in thin soils and surviving periods of drought. Erect stems clothed in grey-green, toothed, aromatic foliage carry whorls of small, deep blue flowers with spidery anthers which are a bee and butterfly magnet. Flowering commences in August and continues through to Autumn, making this a very useful shrub for injecting much needed late colour into borders. Associates well with Mediterranean, prairie and gravel plantings and its compact form also makes it suitable for containers.

Height: 90cm (36in). Spread: 1.2m (47in).

Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.
