Chastetree Monk’s Pepper 1 Live Plant – Vitex agnus-castus – Quart Pot

Chastetree, also known as Monk’s Pepper (Vitex agnus-castus), is a deciduous flowering shrub or small ornamental tree admired for its fragrant foliage and attractive lavender-blue flower spikes. Its gray-green, palmately compound leaves create a delicate texture, while its naturally branching form adds ornamental interest to gardens and landscapes.

During summer, clusters of lavender-blue to violet flowers appear at the ends of branches, attracting bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. Small, rounded fruits may develop after flowering and gradually darken as they mature. Chastetree is particularly suitable for pollinator gardens, sunny shrub borders, Mediterranean-inspired landscapes, and ornamental specimen plantings.

Supplied as one live Chastetree in a quart nursery pot (QT), this young plant is intended for outdoor growing in suitable climates. It performs best in full sun and well-drained soil. Once established, it is relatively tolerant of dry conditions. As a deciduous plant, it naturally loses its foliage during winter dormancy.
