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.

| Pruning | Can be pruned as a large shrub or trained into a small tree; prune in late winter or early spring to shape and encourage flowering |
| Fertilization | Do not fertilize at planting. Once the trees are established, fertilize in early spring (Mar-April) as growth begins. Do not fertilize in the fall, which could promote late season tender growth that can be damaged by early frosts. |
| Watering | Newly planted trees should be watered regularly. This is the most critical step in the establishment of your new trees. Please see the Watering section under "How to plant and grow" in our Learning Center. |
