Vitex agnus-castus ‘V12-2-1’ PP#36,228
WVITEROC
If you’d like to spend literal months enjoying flowers, Rock Steady vitex is meant for you! We trialed it next to other popular options and it bloomed anywhere from 6-16 weeks longer. Since it blooms on new wood, it has to grow its flower buds in spring, but once it starts flowering in late spring it doesn’t stop until fall! Its light purple, candelabra-like blooms attract pollinators and look lovely in a cut flower arrangement. It is very reliable, as it flowers on new wood. So even if it experiences winter dieback in a colder region, it should still pop back up and present flowers. Pop a Rock Steady vitex into your garden for a seasons-long floral show! - Proven Winners
