Caryopteris x clandonensis ‘Kew Blue’ (Bluebeard) is a compact, deciduous shrub of rounded habit with a profusion of dark blue flowers in late summer and early fall.

Valued for its late season blossoms when few other shrubs are in bloom, this easy care shrub is a superb addition to any sunny garden.
