Adding fresh, long-lasting color to the summer garden, Vitex agnus-castus 'Shoal Creek' (Chaste Tree) is a deciduous, vase-shaped shrub.Growing with a dense, upright habit, it features sage-scented, grayish-green palmate (hand-shaped) leaves with five to seven leaflets and silvery undersides that flicker in the wind and produce a lovely effect. Highly ornamental, spectacular sprays, 12 in. long (30 cm), of small, fragrant, vibrant blue-violet flowers appear from summer to fall,attracting scores of butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees.Fast-growing and low maintenance,'Shoal Creek' develops a naturally well-balanced shape and doesn't require pruning. A wonderful addition to summer landscape color without the work involved with bedding plants! Exceptionally vigorous, 'Shoal Creek' grows, with a spreading habit, up to 4-15 ft. tall (120 - 450 cm) and 4-12 ft. wide (120-360 cm).This versatile plant can be trained as a large shrub or small multi-trunked tree.In cold winter areas, Chaste Tree grows only as a modest-sized perennial shrub because it often suffers winter dieback or dies to the ground.Even though plants may die to the ground (in Zone 5-6 winters), the roots often survive and push up as much as 4-7 ft.(120-210 cm) of new growth the following year.
