Chastetree

About this plant

Known for its vigorous growth and abundant bloom, Vitex agnus-castus 'Shoal Creek' is a magnificent deciduous shrub that delivers a long season of interest. Its striking, fragrant flower spikes resemble those of Buddleia, attracting a myriad of pollinators and creating a captivating focal point in the landscape. This cultivar stands out with its more compact, uniform growth habit and intensely colored florets. The palmate, grey-green foliage provides a beautiful backdrop, emitting a pleasant, peppery aroma when brushed. 'Shoal Creek' Chastetree is an excellent choice for a specimen plant, a vibrant hedge, or incorporated into a mixed border.

Care & maintenance

Easily grown in average, medium moisture, well-drained soils. Prefers full sun for best flowering. Drought tolerant once established. Prune in late winter or early spring to maintain desired size and shape, as flowers appear on new wood. Can be cut back severely to encourage a more shrub-like form or allowed to grow into a small, multi-stemmed tree.
