Dark Knight Caryopteris Spring Pre-Order In hot weatherA late bloomer that keeps the garden energized. Dark Knight Bluebeard is one of those shrubs that becomes most valuable exactly when the landscape starts to need fresh color. In late summer and into early fall, it lights up with clusters of deep blue to purplish blue flowers just as many earlier bloomers are easing off. That bloom timing makes it a smart choice for gardeners who want to stretch the season rather than repeat the same spring show.
