Petite Bleu™ is one of the best kept late summer blooming secrets your customers will ever experience. Deep, shiny, dark green foliage is so tightly packed on its stems that Petite Bleu™ presents a pleasingly dense, tight mounding form in the garden that refuses to look anything but neat and well kept no matter when you see it. This foliage and form fades into the background once Petite Bleu™ begins to bloom in mid-August. Its flowers are by far the darkest of any Caryopteris displaying its impossibly deep blue flowers in such great numbers it might actually take your breath away! In color well into late September, it’s a beacon of cool blue in an otherwise drab summer/fall garden that will have you actually looking forward to the fall landscape instead of ignoring it. Well drained soil is an absolute must for this drought resistant, deer resistant, butterfly attracting beauty that will perfrom at its best in as much sun as your garden can deliver.
