The Vitex Tree is a sun-loving, drought-tolerant deciduous tree or large shrub that brings texture and color to the landscape. Growing 10–20 feet tall and wide, it features gray-green, aromatic, palmate leaves and long spikes of lavender, violet, or pale blue flowers from early summer to fall. The blooms attract butterflies, bees, and other pollinators, making it a favorite for eco-friendly yards. With a graceful, multi-trunked form and low maintenance needs, Vitex is ideal for hot climates and works well as a focal point, in xeriscapes, or along property lines.
