Description

Vitex agnus-castus ‘Queen Bee’ brings long-lasting lavender purple flower spikes, aromatic foliage and excellent pollinator value from midsummer into early autumn, helping your garden stay colourful and active later in the season.

The distinctive palmate leaves create a handsome, textured backdrop, and they release a lovely fragrance when touched. This makes ‘Queen Bee’ particularly attractive near a patio, pathway or seating area. The upright flower panicles add height and colour without making the plant feel too large or unruly.

Growing to around 120cm tall and 100cm wide, this compact Chaste Tree suits smaller gardens, sunny borders and larger containers. Once established, it copes well with heat and dry conditions, provided the soil drains freely.

The nectar-rich blooms are highly attractive to bees, butterflies and other beneficial insects, making this a fine choice for wildlife-friendly planting. In colder gardens, offer winter protection, particularly during harsh weather.

Supplied as an established plant in a 2 litre pot, ready to plant.
