Native to tropical Asia and Australia, this striking plant features three-part (trifoliate) compound leaves with oval, pointed leaflets that are gray-green on top and rich purple-gray underneath, creating a beautiful two-toned effect that shimmers in the breeze. When crushed, the leaves release a strong, peppery, sage-like fragrance . From summer through fall, it produces abundant, showy, conical clusters of small, tubular, light purple to lavender flowers with a sweet, honey-like fragrance, attracting hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees. The flowers are followed by small, dark, berry-like drupes. With its rounded to vase-shaped habit, fast growth, and excellent drought tolerance once established, it is an outstanding choice for sunny borders, Mediterranean gardens, coastal plantings, and as a colorful accent or informal hedge.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Victory Nursery","offers":[{"title":"5 Gallon","offer_id":44082050236504,"sku":null,"price":54.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0692\/8000\/6232\/files\/Image_jpeg_e40a14b1-05c1-4395-8b31-71764565885b.png?v=1778241727","url":"https:\/\/victorynursery.us\/products\/vitex-trifolia-purpurea","provider":"Victory Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
