Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety SMVACBD, known under the trade name Blue Diddley, is a dwarf form of Vitex agnus-castus. The plant has a rounded shape and palmate dark green leaves, which acquire a silvery hue on young shoots.

Flowering occurs from mid- to late summer on current year's growth. The variety is characterized by high drought tolerance after establishment, is resistant to deer damage, and is adapted to hardiness zones 5 to 9, although in colder regions the above-ground part may renew annually.

The plant is used primarily for decorative purposes in border and container plantings, attracting pollinators. Under specific growing conditions, dieback of individual branches and uneven shrub development are possible.
