First Editions® Queen Bee (Vitex agnus-castus “Bailtexthree” EUPBRAF) is a vigorous, climate-resistant shrub with lavender-blue flower clusters up to 25 cm long and an exceptionally long flowering season with strong re-flowering. The richly flowering clusters attract bees, butterflies and other pollinators en masse, providing clear ecological added value and a strong proposition to consumers.
The grey-green, palmate leaves enhance its ornamental value, while the plant is distinguished by its tolerance to drought, heat and cold, an important characteristic 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.
It is introduced in the recognisable First Editions® pot with a distinctive label. Support with professional point-of-sale material such as displays and banners is available. First Editions® Queen Bee is marketed by First Editions® network growers in Europe and the United Kingdom, supported by Bailey Nurseries, with initial deliveries available immediately.
