I like the vitex too, but my son is horribly allergic to it, even when

I haven't seen the white variety. I have a pale purplish blue, and I've
also seen a nice steel blue.
Hummingbirds love it too, and bumblebees.

I got the white one by accident. Don't know which one it is until it
blooms. I never thought about them being allergic. The crushed leaves
smell a bit like a creosote telephone post, though.
