Default Shrubbery with purple spikey flowers

Is it taller than your house?

So is mine. And it's gotten to about 15 feet in just a couple of years -
from a 1 gallon shrub. It was the best investment I ever made.

Up and down IH-35 between Round Rock and Georgetown, there are beautiful,
flowering shrubs that have huge, long, purple, flowering spikes.

What are they and how fast do they grow?


They are Vitex and I have one which is about 12 feet tall. On roadsides

they do
not get as large. In a cultivated garden, it can be limbed up into a

small
tree, about 18 feet at climax growth...which takes about a dozen years or

so.
Mine is magnificent this year.
