Chaste tree is a small deciduous tree in South but can be grown as a perennial in the North. The leaves have been mistaken for those of Cannabis (Marijuana). The clusters of lilac flowers in summer have caused some to call it "Summer Lilac". It is a lovely summer flowering tree native to southern Europe and western Asia. Plant it in an open site with well-drained soil. This variety 'Flora Ann' was selected and named by Greg Grant of Nacogdoches, Texas. He named it for the late Mrs. Flora Ann Bynum of Winston Salem, NC a dear friend and great gardener. It is derived from Greg's variety 'Selina's Pink' and has good deep pink flowers.
