CARYOPTERIS X CLAND `BEYOND MIDNIGHT USPP 27,426: A Captivating Dark and Dreamy Delight

Caryopteris x cland `Beyond Midnight' is a captivating new addition to the gardening world, boasting extremely dark, glossy foliage, a compact habit, and deep blue flowers that will leave you spellbound. This plant adds much-needed color to the late summer landscape and makes a handsome companion with perennials, attracting a plethora of pollinators.

Requiring a sunny spot and very well-drained soil, Caryopteris demands meticulous care. Wet soils, particularly those that remain soggy during periods of cold weather, can cause devastating root rot. To ensure the plant's success, we recommend early-season planting in USDA Zones 5 and 6.

To maintain sturdy, dense growth, Caryopteris should be cut back every spring, but only after new growth begins to emerge on the stems. The plant should be trimmed back to just above a large, healthy bud, allowing it to flourish in the coming season.

The plant is delivered directly from our nursery in a 2-gallon trade pot, fully rooted in the soil and ready for immediate planting, weather permitting. We advise against planting during frigid winter months or under drought conditions, as these environmental factors can significantly impact the plant's well-being.

For best results, plant Caryopteris x cland `Beyond Midnight' in USDA Zones 5-9. The mature height of the plant ranges from 24 to 30 inches, with a matching spread. The plant's standout feature is its extremely dark, glossy green foliage, which provides a stunning contrast to the gorgeous deep blue flowers that bloom in late summer.

It's important to note that the plant will be dormant, without leaves, during the late fall and winter months. This is a normal phenomenon, and the plant will leaf out once again in the spring, ready to captivate and enchant your garden.

With its captivating appearance, Caryopteris x cland `Beyond Midnight' is a must-have for any gardener seeking to add a touch of drama and intrigue to their outdoor space. Its adaptability to full sun and its ability to thrive in well-drained soils make it a versatile choice for a variety of garden settings. Prepare to be mesmerized by this dark and dreamy delight!
