Chaste Tree ' Shoal Creek' - Improved color and performance!

Place this easy summer showstopper where you will enjoy a glorious display of 12” blue-violet flower spikes in mid-Summer. By a sunny patio, pool or across a lawn, the lightly fragrant flower display attracts butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds during its long bloom season. Deadheading the flowers just after the first blooms fade will bring forth a second flush of flowers. The willowy Vitex leaf smells similar to fresh sage when cut or crushed.

In zone 5 Chaste Tree will come up from the roots each year to be an effective 4-7’ decorative hedge. In zones 6-9, it’s winter hardy and is typically grown as a small multi-trunk specimen tree. An annual late winter pruning of lower limbs will yield a cool shady spot for a bench or bird bath. Easy growing, the Chaste tree asks for full sun and well-drained soil. It also has low water requirements. It is a best blooming small tree selection for any garden.
