Its wispy, narrowly palmate, gray-green leaves are aromatic if crushed. The small fragrant lavender blue flowers appear at the branch tips from late spring or early summer into autumn. The palmate (hand-shaped), gray-green leaves with silvery undersides are fragrant when bruised. Place chastetree in a sunny location with well drained soil. It thrives in heat and blooms on new, current season growth. In warm regions, the plant can be limbed up into a small, multitrunked tree, grown in a patio container, or placed in the mixed flower border. In cooler zones, the plant will be knocked back by frosts and should be pruned back and allowed to rejuvenate from the base each spring. In these areas, chastetree is a modest sized perennial shrub. This plant spreads by self-sowing and may be invasive in warm climates. Info source: Learn2Grow.com Extra seeds The seeds are hand-selected. You will never receive fewer seeds than stated.
