FREE: drought tolerant blue fragrant deer resistant perennial Zones 5-10

The listing, drought tolerant blue fragrant deer resistant perennial Zones 5-10 has ended.

This auction is for ten seeds from a Shoal Creek Chaste tree (Texas Lilac). This perennial has gorgeous spires of fragrant blue blossoms. It blooms on new growth and will repeat bloom for months. It can be shaped into a small tree in the South and thrives in heat, but also does well, and makes a gorgeous blooming bush, where it gets frozen to the ground. It tolerates drought, does well in zones 5-10, and attracts butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees. This plant has a long history of medicinal use. The leaves have a fragrance that reminds me of sage, when bruised, and deer won't eat it (at least that's what the info I found says)! The color photos used are courtesy of Texas A&M, and used with permission, but the other photos here are of my plant. It's only about 3' tall, including the pot, but had huge bloom spires (up to 10") on it, when I got it.
