Quick Overview:

‘Shoal Creek’ is a chaste tree cultivar that is typically grown in warm winter climates as a vase-shaped, deciduous shrub or sometimes trained as a single trunk tree. In cold winter areas in USDA Zones 5 and 6, it is more often cut back each year and grown as a 4-7′ tall woody perennial shrub. Features aromatic, compound, palmate, grayish-green leaves with 5-7 lance-shaped leaflets and tiny, fragrant lilac flowers appearing in loose panicles throughout the summer. Flowers are quite attractive to butterflies and bees.  (Courtesy of Missouri Botanical Garden Plant Finder)

Description

Best grown in loose, medium moisture, well-drained soils in full sun. Plant in sheltered locations north of USDA Zone 7. In USDA Zones 5 and 6, this shrub often suffers winter dieback or dies to the ground. It is not considered reliably winter hardy throughout USDA Zone 5. Pruning after the first flowers fade stimulates new growth making possible a second flush of blossoms in late-summer or early-fall.  (Courtesy of Missouri Botanical Garden Plant Finder)
