Shoal Creek Chaste Tree

The Shoal Creek Chaste Tree is a large shrub or small, multi-stem deciduous tree growing up to 15 feet tall and 12 feet wide in warm regions, and it stays smaller in cooler areas. It has lobed, gray-green leaves that smell of sage and long spikes of blue-violet flowers from early summer into fall, depending on your area. It can be grown as a small flowering shrub in cooler zones, and a flowering tree or wall-plant in warmer areas. A great choice for xeric gardening, coastal locations, and any sunny, hot part of your garden.

• Spectacular summer blooms in blue-violet
• Large, foot-long flower spikes in profusion
• Attractive gray-green foliage
• Thrives in hot, dry locations
• Great choice for the sea-shore

Full sun is great for the Shoal Creek Chaste Tree, that will grow in any well-drained soil. Once established it is very drought resistant, as well as growing with salt-spray and in salty soil. It normally has no pests or diseases and it is deer resistant. Some formative pruning of young plants and a spring trimming will give the best results.
