SAPPHIRE SURF BLUEBEARD 5gal

The Sapphire Surf Bluebeard (Caryopteris) is the secret to a stunning late-summer landscape when other plants begin to fade. This compact deciduous shrub reaches a tidy 2 feet tall and 3 feet wide, exploding with rich, dark blue flowers that look like a localized mist of sapphire. For gardeners in Zones 7 and 8, it is a champion of the high-desert and mountain heat, thriving in full sun and well-drained spots where lesser plants might wilt.

Its aromatic foliage is a natural deterrent, making it remarkably deer and rabbit-resistant, yet it remains a magnet for bees and butterflies. To ensure a deep root system, blend Watters Premium Mulch with your gardens native soil during planting. This helps regulate moisture in our arid climate. Supplement with 7-4-4 All-Purpose Plant Food in early spring to fuel that spectacular late-season show. It is the perfect low-maintenance choice for adding cool tones to a sun-drenched yard.
