Caryopteris × clandonensis Grand Bleu is a compact form, invaluable for adding a blast of late summer and autumn colour to both borders and pots. It's very hardy and easy to grow, and it looks sublime when the deep bluish purple flowers open from bud.


  • Garden care:
    Plant Caryopteris in a sunny, well-drained spot—it's not tolerant of wet or heavy soils, especially in winter. Improve drainage before planting if needed by adding grit or organic matter. These small, deciduous shrubs prefer a sheltered site and do best against a warm wall or in a border that gets plenty of sun.

    Once established, they’re drought-tolerant and low maintenance. In early spring, cut back all flowered stems hard to a low, woody framework to encourage strong new growth. After pruning, apply a 2-3in (5-7cm) mulch of well-rotted compost to help retain moisture and boost soil nutrients.
