Vitex agnus-castus First Editions© ‘Flip Side©’ (PBR) is a distinctive deciduous shrub valued for its unusual foliage and late-season flowers. The grey-green leaves are backed with rich purple undersides, adding depth and contrast as the foliage moves in the breeze. From mid to late summer, upright spikes of soft lavender-blue flowers appear on new growth, bringing colour and pollinator activity at a time when many shrubs are past their peak. Naturally upright and easy to manage with annual spring pruning, this variety thrives in warm, sunny positions with free-draining soil. ‘Flip Side©’ is an excellent choice for gardeners seeking late-summer interest, drought tolerance, and a plant that offers visual appeal even outside its flowering period.
