FREE: Drought Tolerant Fragrant Blue Deer Resistant perennial Zones 5-10

The listing, Drought Tolerant Fragrant Blue 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, and can be covered with blooms. 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, but deer won't eat it (at least that's what the info I found says)! The gorgeous photos of blooming plants are courtesy of Texas A&M and are used with permission, but the other photos here are of my plant. My plant is only about 3' tall, including the pot, but it had huge bloom spires (up to 10") on it, when I got it. This plant has a long history of being used for medicinal purposes, as you'll find in the links included. The leaves are aromatic, and the smell reminds me of sage.

Check out these links for lots of photos and more info.
