Drought, Heat + Cold Tolerant Shrub! True Flower Power ? They Last For Ages ? Fragrant Foliage, And Loved By Pollinators!!
- LATE SEASON BLOOMS: Vitex agnus-castus 'Queen Bee' produces upright spikes of tubular lavender flowers from midsummer into early autumn, for colour when many garden shrubs are starting to slow. Its compact, rounded habit makes it a strong feature shrub for borders, wildlife gardens and large patio containers.
- FRAGRANT FOLIAGE APPEAL: The distinctive palmate leaves feature 5-7 splayed leaflets and release a pleasant aroma when touched, adding a sensory layer beyond the flowering season. This aromatic foliage creates a handsome backdrop for the flower spikes and helps the plant stay interesting even before the blooms appear.
- POLLINATOR FRIENDLY SHRUB: Bees, butterflies and beneficial insects are drawn to the nectar-rich flower spikes, making this a rewarding choice for wildlife-friendly planting. Once established, it shows good heat and drought tolerance in well-drained soil, and is fully hardy, however in extreme winter chills, frost protection is recommended.
- DETAILS: Supplied as an established plant in a 2 litre pot, ready to plant. Unpack on arrival, water if dry, then plant into a large patio container or prepared garden soil at the same depth as the nursery pot.
