Caryopteris x clandonensis 'Janice' (Bluebeard) is a small, deciduous shrub of upright and compact habit with a long season of interest. In spring, its bright gold foliage emerges, adding sparkle to the garden. From late summer to mid-fall, abundant rich blue flowers are on display to the delight of butterflies, bees, and other beneficial insects. They make a lovely contrast with the sunny yellow foliage of ovate, coarsely toothed, aromatic leaves. Valued for its late-season blossoms when few other shrubs are in bloom, this easy-care shrub adds a splash of bold color to the sunny perennial borders or shrub borders. Perfect for small gardens and containers.

  • Grows up to 24-30 in. tall and wide (60-75 cm).
  • A full sun lover, this plant is easily grown in average, medium moisture, well-drained soils. Drought tolerant once established. Intolerant of wet, poorly-drained soils.
  • Perfect choice for perennial borders, shrub borders, and butterfly gardens.
  • Attracts butterflies, bees, and other beneficial insects but is deer and rabbit resistant.
  • Virtually pest free. Watch for capsid bug
  • Very little maintenance is needed. Prune stems back hard in late winter to early spring to promote vigorous new stem growth.
