Cottage, coastal & low maintenance gardens will surely benefit from the addition of this hardy shrub. Caryopteris x clandonensis ' Ferndown' is an exceptionally undemanding plant that tolerates drought & will grow in exposed areas, providing it is placed in full sunlight. In addition to these practical advantages, Bluebeard produces interesting, structural stems adorned with elegant, grey-green foliage. These leaves are faintly aromatic, pleasing the senses of smell & sight alike. What's more, the ' Ferndown' variety bears clusters of blue, pollen-rich flowers in the late summer, attracting pollinators such as bees. It can therefore be given pride of place in wildlife areas.
