Caryopteris Sterling Silver

Prized for its silvery-grey foliage and violet-blue flowers, Caryopteris clandonensis 'Sterling Silver' begins its bloom when many other plants begin to fade. The narrow, lightly aromatic leaves form a cool-toned backdrop that enhances the intensity of the blooms. It is especially valuable for adding colour, light and pollinator interest at a time when gardens benefit from a final lift.

This Caryopteris thrives in a sunny, sheltered position and prefers well-drained soil, making it perfect for mixed borders, gravel gardens or coastal planting schemes. It combines beautifully with plants that echo its silvery tones, such as Perovskia atriplicifolia or Santolina chamaecyparissus.

Warm-toned companions such as Sedum ‘Herbstfreude’ or Echinacea in pink or white shades create a balanced, late-season display. To maintain the plant, cut it back hard to a low framework in early spring, as it flowers on new wood and responds well to regular annual pruning.

Supplied in approx. 2-3 litre containers.
