DARK KNIGHT CARYOPTERIS 5gal

The Dark Knight Caryopteris! This is a gem for adding rich color and texture to your garden. Like its cousin, the Blue Mist, the Dark Knight also graces us with beautiful clusters of deep indigo-blue flowers in late summer, which contrasts stunningly against its silvery-green foliage. Imagine that deep blue hue catching the late summer light – truly captivating!

This compact shrub typically reaches 3 feet in height and width, making it versatile for various garden settings, from borders to small urban spaces. For the most vibrant blooms and healthy growth, give your Dark Knight a sunny spot to soak up at least six hours of sunlight daily. It's quite adaptable to different soil types but like many, it prefers well-draining soil. And good news for those in deer country – the Dark Knight is also known to be quite resistant to browsing deer.

When you plant this beauty, use Watters Premium Mulch around the base. This will help maintain consistent soil moisture and keep those pesky weeds at bay. In the spring, boost it with Watters 7-4-4 All-Purpose Plant Food to encourage robust growth and an abundance of those gorgeous dark blue flowers. It's a straightforward way to ensure your Dark Knight thrives and adds a touch of dramatic beauty to your landscape.
