Vitex trifolia Purpurea

Looking for a shrub with spectacular color? Vitex trifolia Purpurea, commonly known as Arabian Lilac is a deep green, with 3″ long leaves, now add stems and veins of lilac with a lilac blush on the underside of the leaf! WOW! Grows 5 feet tall and spreads up to approximately 12 feet wide. Likes full sun, and regular watering, but can also be rather water-wise! Good choice as a colorful hedge, good on slopes, pruned into a small patio tree, or laced out for a graceful back drop.
