Whether planted near a patio, pool, or lawn, the Chaste Tree attracts butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds during its long blooming season. Deadheading the flowers after the initial blooms fade will result in even more gorgeous flowers. In zones 5-9, this tree is easy to grow in full sun and well-drained soil, with low watering needs. As an added bonus, annual pruning of lower limbs can create a shady spot for relaxation or bird watching. A must-have for any garden.

Just a heads up! We share pictures and videos on our site to showcase our products and highlight the quality of our growing process. However, depending on the season you purchase, you can receive a plant that is smaller or larger than what is presented. There's a chance you might see a plant blooming like the one on our site, but it's not guaranteed. We often trim off blooms since they don't travel well.
