Description

A tree that produces blue flowers? Yes! Some people call this the “Sage Tree” because the striking, pretty spikes of violet-blue flowers resemble that of blue sages (Salvia). When young and in bloom, many also mistake this tree for butterfly bush. An abundance of flowers are produced during late spring to early summer. If there’s average or adequate rainfall or irrigation during the summer you can expect another good flush of flowers in late summer or early fall. The 5-lobed leaves, which resemble those of Japanese maple or cannabis plant, is pleasantly aromatic.

The flowers of the Chaste Tree are very attractive to butterflies, hummingbirds and beneficial pollinating bees. If the spent flowers are left on the tree in fall, seeds will form that Cardinals and other birds absolutely love to dine on during the winter months. So, if you are into feeding the birds, this is a must have tree that will provide a free source of food for them.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Depending on your preference, Chaste Tree quickly grows into a multi- or single-trunk shrub or small tree to about 15 to 20 feet tall and 15-18 feet wide. In design, we use it as we do upright Japanese maple: as a focal point specimen tree, in groupings of three or more where space allows, or to frame in the corners of homes and other structures. Grown as a shrub, when planted in straight or staggered rows it makes a colorful hedge and looks especially nice around garden ponds and other bodies of water and in rock gardens. A worthy addition to bird, butterfly, hummingbird, pollination and blue theme gardens!

Spacing: 8-10 feet apart for solid hedge; 22 feet or more for space between plants

Growing Preferences

Chaste Tree will grow in most any average soil, including clay soils. It prefers a moist but well-drained soil however will tolerate temporary wet conditions. As with so many other ornamental shrubs and trees, constantly wet soil can be problematic. Good drought tolerance when established.

Note: The chaste tree is cold hardy in USDA Zones 5a-9b. In USDA Zones 5 and 6 young plants might die back to the ground during an unusually cold winter. If so, cut the plant back to the ground like you would a butterfly bush and it will quickly regrow to a 4 to 6′ shrub.

The tree was chosen for its uniqueness of having blue flowers. It arrived in good time and good condition, The spot I chose was more rocky clay so we couldn’t quite get the width and depth recommended but the soil was amended with compost, and she was well watered. Plan to top dress with more compost and look forward to new growth next spring.—————————————————-Thanks so much for your review.

In renovating an old garden here in Asheville, NC this summer, I have included a number of plants from your nursery. Your inventory includes so many varieties of plants that are hard to find elsewhere—“old fashioned” varieties that are needed for an old garden. Plus, I have been very impressed with the health of the plants we’ve received and the quality of your shipping! All of your plants seem to be happy as clams here.———————————-Thanks so much for your review. Let us know if there’s ever anything we can help you with. 🙂 – Beth | WBG

My chaste tree arrived promptly. It’s a very good size for the price and was perfectly packaged. We got it in the ground just before an unexpected November freeze, so we have our fingers crossed that it will be OK. I highly recommend these folks. I am impressed.

THE CHASTETREE ARRIVED LOADED WITH FLOWERS AND VERY HEALTHY IT LOOKS GORGEOUS —— WBG Reply: Hi Elizabeth – Thanks for the compliments and taking the time to provide your review! nice you got to see the flowers. When Vitex trees are young and smaller, after the flowers have faded you can deadhead them if you want. This will encourage new growth and you might see another round of flowers before summer ends.
