Editor's Note
Caryopteris clandonensis, or Bluebeard, is a stellar choice for adding cool tones and texture to a sunny border. Its silver-toned leaves offer interest even when not in bloom, while the late-summer purple flowers attract bees and butterflies. Pair it with dark green evergreens for high contrast or soft ornamental grasses for a naturalistic feel.
