“Dark Knight” has the deepest blue color of the caryopteris. It has a tidy upright growth habit with a profusion of flowering spikes ideal for the summer landscape. “Dark Knight” flowers heavily every year. It is of modest size and can be used in front of low walls as a hedge or in groups around the base of other shrubs or trees. It is wise to avoid heavy wet- clay soils. The gray-green foliage adds contrast. Full sun.
