Chastetree/ Monk's Pepper (Vitex agnus castus 'Agnus-Castus') - 3 gallon 18"

Ships Nationwide for $7.95

If you are looking for a rugged beauty that stands up to the summer heat while delivering a spectacular show of lavender-blue blooms, the Chastetree (Vitex agnus) is your backyard hero. This fast-growing multi-stemmed shrub—or small tree if you prune it up—typically reaches a manageable 10' feet tall and wide, making it a perfect focal point or privacy screen. It thrives in full, blazing sun and actually prefers our well-drained soils, rewarding you with aromatic, sage-scented foliage and spiked flowers that butterflies and bees simply cannot resist. The best part for those of us living near the wilder edges of town is its toughness; once established, it is remarkably drought-tolerant and stands its ground against local wildlife. It is the definition of a low-maintenance, high-impact plant that brings a cooling splash of Mediterranean color to the height of our summer sizzle.
