Chaste Tree - Shoal Creek Vitex Agnus 1 yr 24-30" Tall Bare Root

Sale price$29.99

'Shoal Creek' features lilac flowers. The foliage has a strong fragrance when crushed.

Best grown in loose, medium moisture, well-drained soils in full sun. Plant in sheltered locations north of USDA Zone 7. In USDA Zones 5 and 6, this shrub often suffers winter dieback or dies to the ground. It is not considered reliable winter hardy throughout USDA Zone 5. Even though plants may die to the ground in Zone 5-6 winters, the roots often survive the winter and push up as much a 4-7' of new growth the following year. Because flowering appears on new growth, winter dieback or pruning back to the ground will not affect flowering. This shrub is often regularly pruned close to the ground in early spring each year in the same manner as is also usually done with crape myrtles. Features aromatic, compound, palmate, grayish-green leaves with 5-7 lance-shaped leaflets (each leaflet to 6" long) and tiny, fragrant, lavender to pale violet flowers appearing in loose panicles (to 12" long) in mid to late summer. Flowers are quite attractive to butterflies.

Uses

Interesting foliage and late summer flowers. Shrub borders, foundations, cottage gardens or butterfly gardens.

 Pre order bare roots.  Once order is placed it can NOT be canceled.
