Vitex agnus-castus First Editions© ‘QUEEN BEE’ (PBR) is a deciduous shrub developed to deliver strong late-summer interest while remaining neat and well balanced. As the season progresses, upright flower spikes emerge on new growth, carrying masses of soft blue-lavender blooms that quickly become a focal point for pollinators. The aromatic grey-green foliage provides a light, open framework that keeps the plant attractive even outside its flowering period. Naturally compact for a vitex, this variety is easy to manage with an annual spring cut back and thrives in warm, sunny positions with free-draining soil. ‘QUEEN BEE’ is an excellent choice for gardeners looking to add prolonged summer colour, wildlife value, and a relaxed Mediterranean feel without high maintenance demands.
