The plant received is quite harmoniously branched and looks promising, especially for flowering as it was already in bloom upon reception! The pruning and growth have satisfied me considering the price.

Description
Vitex agnus-castus 'Albus', commonly known as the Pepper Tree or Chaste Tree, is a shrub with a compact and erect habit. Its inflorescences of pure white flowers produce an abundance of flowers that bloom from July to October.
Originating from Mediterranean regions and Asia, Vitex agnus-castus 'Albus' is a shrub with a compact and erect habit, reaching a height of 2 to 4 m (7 to 13 ft) and a width of 2 m (7 ft). From July to October, it produces long paniculate flower clusters of pure white that are very abundant, airy, and especially melliferous. Its deciduous foliage is a soft green colour. The silky leaves are opposite, deeply lobed, and compound with leaflets arranged in a fan shape. They are aromatic and emit a peppery scent.
Tolerating temperatures as low as -15 °C (5 °F), Vitex agnus-castus 'Albus' thrives in sunny locations. Protect it from cold winds by planting it in a sheltered area. Plant it in a dry and chalky soil. The planting period is from October to May, but in colder climates, it is preferable to plant it from April to June. Prune it severely from December to January to promote new flowering.
It is used in both large and small gardens, as it is a shrub that is highly decorative due to its flowering and foliage. It is well suited for use in country hedges, as a standalone plant, or for coastal borders. It is an excellent companion for other plants.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
