Birds and Blooms Extra – September 01, 2019

VITEX
Vitex negundo, Zones 6 to 9
Often called a chaste tree, this blooming
shrub grows to more than 10 feet tall in
warm winter climates and 3 to 5 feet tall
in cooler regions. Its gray-green leaves
complement small, fragrant flowers that
pollinators love.

Vitex blooms are so delicate and


beautiful. They provide a haven for


bees foraging for pollen. I just love


how blooms and wildlife benefit


from each other. TERRI FOLEY
