Vitex agnus-castus First Editions© ‘VIOLET MAGNET©’ (PBR) is a sun-loving deciduous shrub selected for its rich flower colour and dependable late-season performance. From mid to late summer, upright spires of deep violet-blue flowers rise above the aromatic grey-green foliage, drawing in bees and other pollinators at a time when few shrubs are in bloom. The plant develops a balanced, upright shape and benefits from firm spring pruning, which encourages strong new growth and abundant flowering. Best suited to warm, sheltered positions with free-draining soil, ‘VIOLET MAGNET©’ offers long-lasting colour, drought tolerance, and a relaxed Mediterranean character with minimal ongoing care.
