After the flush of new growth, azaleas and dogwoods have done their chore, there is a bit of a lull in the landscape that is filled with a pungent lavender bloom of Vitex agnus castus (Chaste tree). This midsize sunloving tree was quite popular in the 19th century, but as many plants do, lose favor only to be reintroduced as a "new plant" in our landscape. The placement of this small tree next to an evergreen back ground is something I look forward to every June. I have 2 that flank my home as an anchor on the driveway.
