Arabian Lilac (Vitex trifolia 'Purpurea')
Arabian Lilac (Vitex trifolia 'Purpurea') is a purple‑leaved chaste tree prized for its year‑round foliage color and lavender blossoms that emerge in late summer. This SoCalPlant selection brings a compact, semi‑evergreen presence to warm‑climate gardens, maturing at about 10 ft tall by 10 ft wide.

Benefits: This cultivar delivers striking visual impact with low ongoing maintenance. Its bold purple foliage remains a focal point in sunny borders, while the summer lavender display extends color into the season. The plant’s drought‑tolerant nature helps conserve water in dry landscapes, and its 10 ft by 10 ft mature footprint fits well in borders, entryways, or large containers, providing structure without overwhelming smaller spaces.
