Vitex agnus-castus is widely cultivated in warm temperate and subtropical regions for its delicate-textured aromatic foliage and butterfly-attracting mid-summer spikes of lavender flowers opening in late summer in cooler climates. It grows to a height of 1-5 m (3-16 ft). It requires full sun though tolerating partial shade, along with well-drained soil. In colder zones, the plant tends to die back to the ground, but as it flowers on new wood, flowering is not affected on vigorous growth in the following season. This plant tolerates salt. 

In cultivation in the UK, the form Vitex agnus-castus f. latifolia has gained the Royal Horticultural Society-s Award of Garden Merit.
