Beyond Midnight® Bluebeard (Caryopteris) — Proven Winners® Quart

If you want that electric late-summer blue when everything else is fading… this is the one. Beyond Midnight® doesn’t just bloom—it glows. Silvery foliage, deep indigo-blue flowers, and a constant hum of pollinators. This is the plant that makes people stop and ask, “What is that?”
And here’s the secret: it thrives when other plants struggle.
Small pots. Big potential.
