The Shoal Creek Vitex (Vitex agnus-castus ‘Shoal Creek’) is a captivating flowering shrub or small tree prized for its long blooming season, attractive foliage, and resistance to pests and diseases. An improved cultivar of the Chaste Tree, it typically reaches 15 feet in height and width, offering a multi-trunked, vase-shaped form. The Shoal Creek Vitex stands out for its fragrant, grayish-green foliage. The leaves are composed of 5-7 lance-shaped leaflets with silvery undersides that shimmer in the breeze, adding a textural element to your landscape. But the true stars of the show are the long, terminal clusters of fragrant violet-blue flowers that bloom abundantly from summer to fall. These vibrant blooms attract butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees, creating a delightful buzz of activity in your garden. The Shoal Creek Vitex is not just beautiful, it’s also a low-maintenance and adaptable plant. It thrives in full sun and prefers well-drained soils, but tolerates a variety of conditions, including some drought once established. This easy-going shrub requires minimal watering and is generally resistant to pests and diseases, making it a hassle-free addition to your landscape.

Planted as a specimen shrub, it adds a touch of elegance and a burst of color throughout the summer and fall. Planted in a border or foundation planting, it provides year-round interest with its fragrant foliage and seasonal blooms. This low-maintenance bloomer is sure to attract pollinators and add beauty to your yard for months on end.
