It’s that time of year when Vitex—also known as Texas Lilac or Chaste Tree—bursts into bloom with showy blue-violet flower spikes that turn heads and spark questions!
Vitex is a tough, drought-tolerant plant that thrives in our North Texas climate. Whether you grow it as a large shrub or prune it into a small accent tree, it makes a stunning statement in the landscape. Its sculptural branching adds beauty even when not in bloom, and the flowers return off and on all summer long.
This easy-care favorite loves full sun and well-drained soil. It’s disease-resistant, low maintenance once established, and a magnet for bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and other pollinators.
