One of my favorite plants is the chaste tree (Vitex agnus-castus). I happened to spy a group of them in full bloom on my way to tennis . I am happy to share these photos.
Chaste tree is a magnet for pollinators and will rebloom in late summer if the spent flowers are removed.
John Viccellio retired after 24 years in the U. S. Navy and began to dig into gardening when he could finally land in one place. He completed the Master Gardener course in 1992 and has since designed and constructed two of his own gardens. He wrote a monthly garden column for ten years and was a regular contributor to Carolina Gardener magazine. John published his first book, Guess What's in My Garden!, in 2014.
He lives in a retirement community in Matthews, NC.
Please join me for A Walk in the Garden: a way of sharing gardening observations, spiced I hope with a dash of experience, a dollop of opinion, a slice of irreverence, a spoonful of love for plants, and a cup full of memories.

They are great shrubs, but they do need full sun. My landscaper planted mine in the shade and they didn’t do well.

You are correct. The ones I had in some shade didn’t do as well.

I love these too, but they never get that big here as they rarely make it through a Bavarian winter. Thanks for sharing!
