Blooming from late spring through summer, these showy, lavender-to-deep-purple flowers attract pollinators like butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds, bringing life and color to the landscape.

This low-maintenance plant benefits from occasional pruning in late winter to remove deadwood and encourage a bushier shape or control its size. Deadheading spent flowers can also extend its blooming period. Purple Vitex is deer-resistant, generally pest-free, and adaptable to various soil conditions, making it ideal for low-water or xeriscape gardens. With its showy purple blooms, fragrant foliage, and tolerance to heat and drought, Purple Vitex adds a bold, Mediterranean feel to the garden and works beautifully as a specimen plant, hedge, or mixed border addition. -
