Magnificent Long-Blooming Chaste Trees
For incredible, elegant Ornamental Shrubs and Trees, you can't go wrong with the outstanding selection of Chaste Trees (Vitex) from Nature Hills Nursery! These powerhouse plants deliver bountiful, fragrant blooms all summer long in a striking blue-violet color!
Native to western Asia and southern Europe, the aromatic gray-green fine-textured palmately-shaped foliage contrasts well with the light-to-dark bluish-lilac terminal flower spikes, including some white varieties and pink flowering Chaste trees!
Featuring a fast growth rate, and open, airy growth habit, Chaste trees do great in most of North America. These plants are sun-tolerant and provide shade and character to your landscape!
The tiny fragrant flowers are clustered along each terminal flower spike and last for a very long time from spring to summer. In some climates, it will rebloom in the fall. The blooms are very long-lasting and are incredible pollinator and Hummingbird-friendly blossoms!
Versatile Chaste Trees!
The Chaste trees in our inventory are available as single-stem trees, multi-stem trees, and in shrub form. The difference between them is purely aesthetic!
- Single-Stem: One stem emerges from the ground, then branches near the top. This is the traditional 'tree' look.
- Multi-Stem: Three or more stems are either planted in close proximity or emerge from the soil line. Upper branches may weave together in a clump form.
- Shrub: Many stems emerge with branches close to the ground to form a bushy profile, often remaining shorter than tree forms.
You can often achieve a tree or shrub-like appearance by pruning your Chaste tree in the proper way.

Pruning Chaste Trees
Clip spent flower heads to keep a clean look to the plant. This will also encourage a rebloom to occur. This mindful task can be quite relaxing, and it's never a chore to get close up to these fragrant plants!
Lightly prune limbs, before you see new growth in early spring, by cutting back to the point that they originate from on the trunk. Cut back as much as 1/3rd of the entire canopy height in a season to control height, keeping in mind Chaste blooms on new wood.
