Vitex
trifolia purpurea ~ Arabian Lilac
|
| Vitex trifolia purpurea
works well as a specimen plant with its distinctive foliage
color. The tops of the leaves are green and the bottoms
purple. The leaves are sharply angled at the mid-rib so the purple
and green contrasts nicely. Vitex trifolia purpurea leaves are
fragrant. Arabian Lilac grows at a moderate pace to form a 8 x8 foot
shrub. Vitex trifolia purpurea is quite drought tolerant once
established. Arabian Lilac plants are hardy into the low 20's and
are Winter deciduous at the colder extremes. Vitex trifolia purpurea
grows well in full sun to partial shade. Lavender-blue flowers are
produced in the late Spring, Summer and into the early Fall.
