Each time I drive around the corner to my house, the Chaste tree in my front yard knocks me out. Long, blue flowers covering the tree have been blooming since early June and when the sun shines on them they light up the yard.
I have two specimens. One was labeled a Chaste tree, the other a Texas lilac, when I bought them at different nurseries. I've since learned they're the same plant. One was shaped as a tree, the other is smaller and shrub-like. I guess I can prune them both into trees.
I'm wondering if the dried blooms are desirable to birds. If I clip them off, I might get another bloom later in the summer.
Besides being beautiful, the Chaste tree is drought-tolerant. Yeah!
