When flowering, like now, the colors glow brilliantly and compliment each other quite well. It was dumb luck on my part planting them in that location but I was running out of room elsewhere - a theme becoming more common on this group :-( I was not familiar with Vitex so just googled it. Hardy and a butterfly attractor? :-) I've been planting Lantana next to Pentas and that combo seems to attract more flying flowers, but the Pentas need more water than Lantanas. I may have to consider some Vitex out front. How big do they get? I have two, white and 'Carolina Blue' and they are both upwards of fifteen feet. They can get twenty five feet, easily, in ten years. They are very large shrubs. Hummingbirds also love them. Hm. I have little enough open sun as it is. Those would have to be relegated to the front of the driveway, or maybe the southeast corner of the house. Will they do well in partial sun? -- Peace, Om Remove _ to validate e-mails.
