I take these photos at Nice (France) in the 2° week of October. The plant was growing outdoor. Does anyone recognizes it? Many thanks in advance, Bruno

Bruno,
It is Vitex trifolia 'Purpurea'
It looks at its best when grown as a standard and in full sun so it gets its deep color.

Really many many thanks Oron!!! ;D ;D
It is an interesting plant, so different from the others Vitex (V. agnus-castus L. and V. negundo L.) that i knew
Greetings, Bruno
