Notes

Bluebeard (Caryopteris × clandonensis) is a shrub for pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). Bees visit this shrub, so it adds steady activity to a planting meant for pollinators. You can set it near other plants that attract bees to build a garden full of buzzing life. A group of bee-friendly plants gives visitors more places to stop and feed.

Pairs well with Black-eyed Susan, Limelight hydrangea, and Globemaster allium.
