Fall color ➡️ winter structure ❄️

Bluebeard (Caryopteris) proves that great plants don’t stop performing when the leaves drop. From soft blue blooms and glossy green foliage in fall to clean form and texture in winter, this shrub earns its place year-round.

⭐🌱PRO TIP: After you’re finished enjoying its charming seedheads in the winter, this shrub can be cut back by up to two-thirds its total height in early spiring! When the new growth begins to emerge on the stems, cut back to just above where big, healthy buds are emerging to promote a dense and tidy habit.

👇 What’s one plant you can always rely on to provide winter structure in your garden?
