The Vitex, often called the Chaste Tree or Lilac Chaste Tree, is a striking ornamental shrub or small tree prized for its long, showy spikes of lavender-blue flowers that appear from early summer through fall. Highly attractive to butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds, Vitex is a pollinator magnet and a wonderful addition to wildlife-friendly landscapes.
This versatile plant can be grown as a large, multi-stemmed shrub or pruned into a single-trunk tree, making it a flexible choice for gardens and landscapes. Its aromatic, gray-green foliage adds texture and contrast, while its drought tolerance and adaptability to hot climates make it a low-maintenance favorite for southern gardens.
