About This Plant
Vitex agnus-castus (Chaste Tree), 'Chaste Tree' is valued in the landscape for character, form, and seasonal interest.
Chastetree , large multi-stem shrub or small tree with palmate aromatic foliage and lavender-blue late-summer flower spikes adored by bees and butterflies. Mediterranean-character specimen.
Full sun suits this species. Plant in well-drained; tolerates lean conditions soil. Hardy USDA Zone 6 to 9. Drought-tolerant once established. Cut back hard in late winter to encourage strong flowering. Generally trouble-free.
