💡 Care Tip: Plant your Vitex in a sunny location with well-draining soil and provide regular water while it establishes. Once established, it is relatively drought tolerant and low maintenance. During winter, the plant may naturally lose its leaves and arrive dormant with bare branches. This is normal for a deciduous plant and does not mean the plant is dead or damaged; new growth will emerge naturally when conditions become favorable in spring.
