Growth Rate and Mature Size

Grows at a moderate to fast rate, typically reaching a height of about 10 to 15 feet, with a spread of around 6 to 10 feet, making it an excellent choice for adding color to gardens, creating hedges, or as a specimen plant in landscapes.

Watering and Sunlight

This plant prefers well-drained, slightly alkaline to neutral soil and is highly drought-tolerant once established. It thrives in hot, dry conditions and benefits from occasional watering during extended dry periods, but overwatering should be avoided as it can lead to root rot in soggy soil.

Vitex thrives in full sun, where it will produce abundant blooms and maintain healthy growth. It can tolerate some light shade but may not flower as prolifically or grow as vigorously in shadier conditions.
