Vitex Chaste Tree or Chaste Berry – Flowering Shrub for Pollinators
Enhance your garden with the beauty and benefits of Vitex agnus-castus, also known as the Chaste Tree or Chasteberry. This fast-growing deciduous shrub features fragrant lavender-blue flower spikes that bloom from summer to fall, attracting butterflies, bees, and other pollinators. Native to the Mediterranean, Vitex thrives in hot, sunny climates and is drought-tolerant once established.
