First Editions® Queen Bee (Vitex agnus-castus 'Bailtexthree' EUPBRAF) is a vigorous, climate-resilient shrub with lavender-blue flower spikes up to 25 cm long and an exceptionally long flowering season with strong reblooming. The abundantly blooming spikes attract bees, butterflies, and other pollinators in large numbers, providing clear ecological added value and a strong proposition for the consumer.
The grey-green, palmate foliage enhances the ornamental value, while the plant stands out for its tolerance to drought, heat, and cold—an important trait in today’s market. Queen Bee reaches a height of 2–3 metres and is suitable as a solitary plant, colourful hedge, or accent plant.
