Beyond Pink’d Bluebeard is a new bluebeard variety (Caryopteris incana) that draws bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds to pretty pink flower clusters from late summer through mid-fall. Most Caryopteris shrubs have purple blooms, a pretty but more common color in plant choices. With Beyond Pink’d, gardeners can enjoy plenty of pink power on a compact shrub that pollinators love and deer ignore.
This shrub will bloom a long time with little effort and can handle both late summer heat and periods of drought. It grows to nearly 30 inches high and around in a mounded shape. With its delicate summer blooms and fall interest, the little shrub works well in mixed borders or as a featured plant in a container or in the landscape. Aside from its pollinator-attracting properties, this pink bluebeard produces pretty cut or dried flowers.
Beyond Pink'd Bluebeard Care
Plant Beyond Pink’d Bluebeard in full sun and average soil that drains well. Water the new plant well, and then gradually increase time between watering. Be sure not to plant your Caryopteris in a low-lying spot or other poorly draining area. Soggy soil can cause it to rot. Typically, the shrub needs no fertilizer, but it can benefit from application of some organic compost to the soil each year, especially if grown in a container.
There is no need to deadhead your bluebeard for continuous blooming. The faded flowers provide fall interest on the shrub or added to dried flower arrangements. Simply prune the shrub in spring after new, healthy growth begins to appear. Cut the plant just above the new growth, typically about halfway down. Prune it to a round shape if desired and the plant still will maintain a natural appearance.
Beyond Pink'd Bluebeard Spacing
When planting Beyond Pink’d with other perennials for a mixed border, space the center of the caryopteris at least 24 inches from the center of the other plant, depending on its mature size. For a mass of pink blooms, space several of these bluebeards 24 to 30 inches apart, and be ready to enjoy lots of bee and butterfly traffic.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability).

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
