Caryopteris × clandonensis Pink Perfection ('Lisspin') (PBR)
bluebeard
A very pretty new pink-flowered caryopteris that will provide lashings of late colour. Caryopteris × clandonensis Pink Perfection has a bushy, upright habit, with leafy stems that are topped with tiered whorls of rose pink buds, which open to soft pink blooms towards the end of summer. It's a great plant for extending the season of interest in a mixed border, but also fits easily into a Mediterranean or gravel-style planting scheme.
How to care for Caryopteris × clandonensis Pink Perfection ('Lisspin') (PBR):
Plant Caryopteris in a sunny, well-drained spot—it's not tolerant of wet or heavy soils, especially in winter. Improve drainage before planting if needed by adding grit or organic matter. These small, deciduous shrubs prefer a sheltered site and do best against a warm wall or in a border that gets plenty of sun.
Once established, they’re drought-tolerant and low maintenance. In early spring, cut back all flowered stems hard to a low, woody framework to encourage strong new growth. After pruning, apply a 2-3in (5-7cm) mulch of well-rotted compost to help retain moisture and boost soil nutrients.
