Cobalt-blue flowers with speckled interiors and wildly reflexed stamens bloom from late summer until frost. The highly fragrant (some may say rancid green beans) leaves and square stems render this plant very deer-proof!

Yes, it appears this one is also a naming doozy! Sold by us previously as Trichostemma 'Blue Bonnets', it appears that it is technically a Tripora divaricata sometimes referred to also as Caryopteris nepalensis or Caryopteris divaricata--and unclear whether of Japanese or Himalayan descent. If it is a Caryopteris it is the only herbaceous one we know of.

Clumping perennial; mature size: 5-6 ft T

Carefully packed for each plant

Once your order is ready, we bring the plants from our greenhouses into a holding area. Each plant is wrapped by hand and, when needed, staked to protect tender stems. Because our inventory is so diverse, we adjust the packing method for each plant based on its size, type, and stage of growth.

We reuse clean paper and plastic packing materials whenever practical. It is easier on the planet and helps keep shipping costs down for you, too.

Choose your Monday ship date

At checkout, choose from the available Monday ship dates. We ship with UPS from Monmouth, Oregon, and you will receive an email with tracking information when your shipment is prepared or enters the UPS system.

Arrival times vary by destination and weather, so we cannot guarantee a specific delivery date or time.
