Vitex agnus-castus ‘Latifolia’ is a deciduous shrub or small tree valued for its generous foliage and late-season flowering. Its noticeably broader leaves create a fuller, more substantial outline than typical forms, giving the plant presence even before it comes into bloom. As summer progresses, upright flower spikes develop on new growth, carrying soft violet-blue flowers that bring colour and movement when many shrubs have already finished. Best suited to warm, sunny positions, this variety thrives in free-draining soil and copes well with dry conditions once established. Easy to manage with annual spring pruning, ‘Latifolia’ is ideal for gardeners seeking a relaxed, Mediterranean-style plant that offers pollinator value and reliable summer interest without high maintenance.
