Description: Vitex agnus-castus, commonly called chaste tree, is typically grown in warm winter climates as a vase-shaped, deciduous shrub (to 10-15' tall) or trained as a single trunk tree to 20' tall. In cold winter areas in USDA Zones 5-6, it is more often grown as a 3-5' tall herbaceous perennial. Native to southern Europe and central Asia, chaste treegrowsquickly. It is noteworthy for its clusters of fragrant lavender blooms in the summer which attract butterflies and bees. Vitex is native to the Mediterranean region and is planted in warm temperate and subtropical regions for its attractive foliage and flowers. It is very tolerant to heat and drought. Deer do not eat it. Crushed leaves smell very nice.
