When most of the garden begins to fade into late-summer, Caryopteris ‘Dark Knight’ steps forward like a welcome surprise guest. This compact, mounding shrub is a burst of deep purplish-blue blooms when you need color most—stretching its display well into fall.

Its dense, silver-gray foliage releases a soft fragrance, and its shimmering leaves set the perfect backdrop for those deep purple/blue flowers. Pollinators adore it, bees and butterflies flock in for nectar just as other floral sources dwindle, making your garden feel alive and buzzing well into the fall.

Perfectly proportioned for smaller gardens, borders, and entryways, ‘Dark Knight’ brings elegance without fuss. It’s drought-tolerant, deer- and rabbit-resistant, and easy to care for, making it a friend to both gardeners and wildlife. Plant multiple for a breathtaking late-summer border, or let it stand as a single accent where it can shine.
