Nursery contributed plant descriptions

6-10" soft pink fragrant flower spikes that are borne throughout summer on this large shrub or small tree. Great for Butterflies, Hummingbirds, and Bees. Salina's Pink Vitex is another wonderful selection of Vitex from noted plant breeder and auther Greg Grant of Stephen F Austin University. Vitex are great for summer color and their large spikes of colorful flowers attract butterflies and bees. Vitex are adaptable to a wide variety of soil types and are considered to be drought tolerant enough to be suitable for Xeric gardens. These durable and easily grown shrubs are basically pest and disease free, are deer resistant, and are moderately salt tolerant. Removing spent flowers and seed heads will promote the production of wave after wave of new flowers throughout the summer and into fall.
