About Vitex agnus-castus, Chaste Tree Seed

Chaste Tree (Vitex agnus-castus) brings a long summer show of fragrant lavender-blue flower spikes, often compared to butterfly bush, over aromatic, finely divided gray-green leaves on a loose, multi-stemmed shape. It is a favorite of bees, butterflies and hummingbirds, and its peppery seeds have a long history in herbal traditions.
