The Chaste Tree (Vitex agnus-castus) is one of only a handful of winter-hardy trees that blooms with true-blue flower spikes all summer long. You'll love the way it attracts pollinators, butterflies, or 'Flying Flowers' to your yard. You will be hard-pressed to find a more spectacularly beautiful plant with more outstanding qualities. It's a fast-growing, multi-trunked tree, and rest assured. You don't need any special skills or knowledge to grow this tree in your yard. It's easy to grow in well-drained soil. It's drought-tolerant and disease-resistant. You'll be very pleased with the return you get on your limited investment (both time and money!) with this tree. Other common names such as Monk's Pepper, Chaste Tree has handsome and aromatic green foliage with a decidedly silvery cast to the undersides. As summer heats up, your Chaste Tree will astound you with its impressive blue spikes that bloom right up until autumn. Though always appreciated for the beautiful blue-purple flower color, the plant was commonly grown as a medicinal plant to instill purity in women. This tree was named "chaste" in medieval Europe because it was thought that a potion made from the flowers would cure an overactive libido. We know that just the opposite is true. You will fall madly in love with this plant in your yard! Chaste Trees can be grown as shrubs in colder USDA growing zones 6 (and possibly zone 5) where the plant may die back to the ground in winter and are treated more like you would a perennial. Then, in spring new growth develops from the roots that will quickly grow and flower usually from June until frost. Often, they are used as dieback shrubs in these colder zones, and in the warmer zones, they can grow into 20-foot trees where they will not die back.
