Chaste Tree
Vitex agnus-castus
Description: Chaste Tree is a fast-growing, deciduous shrub or small tree known for its aromatic, gray-green foliage and striking spikes of lavender to violet flowers that bloom from late spring through fall. With its graceful, multi-stemmed growth habit and drought tolerance, Chaste Tree is a beautiful and resilient addition to pollinator gardens, borders, and ornamental landscapes.
Wildlife Benefits: The nectar-rich flowers attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, making it an excellent choice for supporting pollinators throughout the warm months.
Medicinal Benefits: Traditionally used in herbal medicine for hormonal balance and reproductive health, Chaste Tree berries have been valued for centuries in teas and tinctures to support overall wellness.
Native Status: Native to the Mediterranean and parts of Asia, Chaste Tree thrives in warm, dry climates and adapts well to Georgia’s growing conditions.
Pollinator Friendliness: With its long-lasting blooms, Chaste Tree provides a critical nectar source for pollinators, especially during the heat of summer when other flowers may be fading.
Planting Guidelines:
Height: 8–20 feet
Spacing: 10–15 feet
Sun/Shade: Requires Full Sun
How to Grow: Chaste Tree thrives in well-drained soil and is highly drought-tolerant once established. Prune in late winter or early spring to maintain shape and encourage new growth. It can be grown as a large shrub or trained into a small tree, making it a versatile choice for landscapes.
Grow Chaste Tree for its stunning flowers, pollinator appeal, and medicinal benefits—a tough, low-maintenance plant that brings beauty and biodiversity to any garden.
