Plant Sentry™

Plant Sentry is designed to protect both consumers and the nursery trade from invasive plant pests and diseases. Sites that display the Plant Sentry protection badge are protected from consumers buying and nurseries shipping material carrying invasive pests and diseases.

This proprietary eCommerce software prevents the shipment of a restricted plant to each state. The Plant Sentry system includes a shipment certification program. The Plant Sentry Compliance Officer works closely with NatureHills.com and each nursery or fulfillment center to ensure only compliant plants are sold to customers.

First Choice Blue Mist Shrub (Caryopteris x clandonensis 'First Choice') is a late bloomer. But not in a bad way! With deep blue clusters of blossoms that pollinators go crazy for! They'll be sure to appreciate the late summer to autumn nectar sources. Also known as Bluebeard Shrubs, these fragrant beauties tolerate coastal and xeric conditions throughout most of the country.

Rounded low-growing shrubs that fill out with lovely lance-shaped blueish gray-green foliage. Highly aromatic, the foliage gives off a fantastic herbal scent when brushed or crushed. The indigo blossoms too are fragrant and a huge draw for bees, butterflies and beneficial insects!

Blue Mist Shrubs are very hardy in USDA growing zones 5 through 9, and reach a tidy height of 2-3 feet in height and similar width. These woody deciduous shrubs handle heat and cold and thrive in the full sun. Highly dependable and adaptable, these are deer, rabbit and drought tolerant bushes!

Planting and Application:

These smaller shrubs are perfect for mixing among perennial and pollinator beds to attract butterflies and feed the bees. Blooming later in the growing season, extend your bloom and season of color into the autumn with these indigo blooms that look fantastic in cottage beds and borders. Edging and accents, these plants even do well in Rock Gardens and tougher spots around the landscape.

Blue Mist Shrubs have the Mediterranean feel and add their herbal and aromatic beauty accent other shrubs and perennials, adding late-season flair and color that's unusual in the autumn landscape. Very low-maintenance once established, they thrive in nearly any condition in the sun. Set against a wall or fenceline, or create a row of unexpected color along your home's foundation evergreens. The play of evergreen and blue set each other off beautifully!

  • Deep Indigo Blue Fragrant Flower Clusters
  • Aromatic Gray-Green Foliage
  • Pest, Deer & Rabbit Resistant Shrubs
  • Huge Butterfly & Pollinator Attractor
  • Rock Gardens, Beds & Borders

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Blue Mist Shrubs thrive in the full sun and very well-drained soil. Provide enough moisture to get them established, then after these are drought tolerant and have low-moisture needs. Low-maintenance and easy care, these shrubs do well being hard pruned in late winter or very early spring to maintain a dense, symmetrical and clean appearance.

  • Full Sun
  • Adaptable Most Well-Drained Soil
  • Low Moisture Needs & Coastal Salt Resistant
  • Pest, Deer & Rabbit Tolerant
  • Prune In Late Winter/Early Spring

First Choice Blue Mist Shrub is the vibrant and aromatic addition to extend the color in your garden and call pollinators from near and far! Order your own long-lasting and easy-care shrubs today from NatureHills.com!
