Product description
Caryopteris Pink Perfection is an attractive deciduous shrub flowering later in the season to produce plenty of colour interest into early autumn. These bee friendly plants bloom from August to September, providing a valuable source of nectar and pollen when many other plants have stopped flowering. The pale rose-pink flowers bloom on tall leafy stems and are ideal for bringing inside for cut flower arrangements.
Also known as Bluebeard, Caryopteris shrubs make excellent border plants, adding height and texture interest among perennials while the grey-green foliage contrasts beautifully with colourful annuals. However, they also grow well in patio pots and are perfect for brightening paved or decking areas in the garden.
Pink Perfection is a low maintenance shrub that is easy to grow and care for. Choose a sheltered sunny spot and plant in well-draining soil. Once established, Caryopteris is drought tolerant and only needs to be watered during particularly dry spells. Prune back flower stems in early spring to tidy the plant and make way for fresh new growth. Mulch annually after pruning.
Please Note: Images are for illustrative purposes only and designed to be a representation of the item(s) being sold. Depending on seasonality, deciduous plants may be supplied in their dormant state and without leaves. This plant will be supplied in a growers pot. Plants may also be pruned back, lower than stated heights, to encourage new growth.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Top Tip
Resist the urge to provide plenty of fertiliser as this can lead to leafy growth with fewer flowers.
How to Water
Water regularly during the first growing season. After this, caryopteris is drought tolerant and only needs to be watered during particularly dry spells.
How to Plant
Choose a sheltered, sunny spot in light, well-draining soil and dig a hole around twice as wide as the root ball. Position the plant so the top of the root ball is at soil level. Backfill with soil and compost, gently firm down, and water in well.
