Vitex (Chaste Tree)

Known for its striking lavender colors, Vitex are an ideal selection when planting small flowering trees. It is fast growing, and tolerates drought, heat, and is pest resistant. With blooms all summer long, your yard will be a welcoming home to butterflies and other pollinating insects. Having been cultivated in North America for over 300 years, gardeners fall in love with the vibrant colors, easy maintenance, and notably fragrant leaves of the Vitex. The variety called White Vitex, or Silver Spire, may be the selection of choice for those who would prefer white flowers.
