The Shoal Creek selection is particularly noted for its larger flower spikes and vigorous, rounded growth habit, making it a striking ornamental specimen for warm-climate gardens and landscapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis shrub works well as a summer-flowering accent, a backdrop in mixed borders, or a small lawn tree where its airy form casts light shade. The blossoms appear on new growth through the hottest part of the season and are attractive to a range of garden pollinators. It prefers full sun and well-drained soil, tolerates heat and drought once established, and can be pruned in late winter or early spring to encourage fresh flowering wood.\u003cbr\u003e\nSpecies: Vitex agnus-castus\u003cbr\u003e\nVariety: Shoal Creek\u003cbr\u003e\nType: Deciduous flowering shrub or small tree\u003cbr\u003e\nPlant_Habit: Upright, rounded, spreading\u003cbr\u003e\nSun: Full sun\u003cbr\u003e\nSoil: Well-drained, average to sandy\u003cbr\u003e\nDays_to_Harvest: Not applicable\u003cbr\u003e\nZones: 6 to 9\u003cbr\u003e\nGermination: 21 to 60 days with stratification\u003cbr\u003e\nSowing: Surface sow, lightly press into soil, keep moist\u003cbr\u003e\nSpacing: 8 to 12 feet apart\u003cbr\u003e\nNotes: Blooms on new wood; prune in late winter or early spring\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54579560055094,"sku":"EXGA-1047","price":19.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/download_52da33df-6c40-4b33-b228-d75606a64b05.png?v=1789621221","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/10-seeds-vitex-agnus-castus-shoal-creek-chastetree-hardy-flowering-shrub-ornamental","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
