Petit Bleu™ Bluebeard 1 Live Flowering Shrub, 2 Gallon Pot – Caryopteris × clandonensis ‘Minibleu’

Petit Bleu™ Bluebeard (Caryopteris × clandonensis ‘Minibleu’) is a compact ornamental flowering shrub valued for its rich blue flowers, aromatic foliage, and rounded growth habit. Also known as Petit Bleu Blue Mist Shrub, this selection produces vivid blue blossoms that contrast with its gray-green leaves, adding attractive color to sunny garden borders, mixed perennial beds, and foundation plantings.

During late summer and early fall, Petit Bleu™ Bluebeard develops clusters of deep blue flowers along its stems. These nectar-rich blossoms are attractive to bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. Its narrow, aromatic leaves provide additional ornamental interest, while its naturally compact form makes it useful in smaller landscapes and decorative outdoor containers.

Petit Bleu™ Bluebeard performs best in full sun and prefers well-drained soil with moderate to low moisture once established. It is particularly suited to sunny borders, pollinator gardens, and mixed shrub plantings where late-season flowers are desired. This deciduous shrub may lose its foliage and experience stem dieback during winter, especially in colder regions, before producing new growth in spring.

Each order includes 1 live Petit Bleu™ Bluebeard supplied in a 2-gallon nursery container (G2).
