VITEX  

 Vitex agnus-castus

(Monk's Pepper or chaste berry) Woody perennial bush to small tree to 15 feet tall, native to the Mediterranean and hardy to -20 degrees F.   The leaves and pretty purple flowers exude exotic aromas. Seeds regulate hormones and support breast health. To grow you must scarify seed lightly on sandpaper, then sow 1/4 inch deep in pots.  Germination is slow, which takes about 18 days.  Grows to be a small tree so allow it space to get about 15 feet tall and wide.  SSF
