| I did a Google search for Russian sage and this picture came up. All I know is that it isn't Russian sage. I know next to nothing about butterfly bushes, but I've never seen one with leaves like this. It's really beautiful.
Any ideas? Thank you! Michelle |

| EM, thank you thank you thank you!! I've never heard of it. It just might squeek by in my zone and I think I need to try one! Michelle |

| Yup. Vitex - sometimes used as a substitute for the increasingly invasive Buddleia. |

| Hi nutmeg, see pics on link. Vitex/Chaste Tree was recently in bloom here and I snapped pics with my camera phone, sometimes a bit fuzzy, of vitex in bloom at different locations around town. It is used here in both residential and commercial landscaping, just as crêpe myrtle trees are used. In full bloom vitex is a favorite of mine to stop and admire. It's a tree here, but a bush for you it seems as your cold winter will make it die back - die back at the very least! Click "Next" to see all 5 pics |

| That's a common plant where I live now but I don't remember ever seeing one when I lived in 5b (central OH.) Glad to hear some people are making it work! Beautiful shrub! |
