That helped, thanks, it's an Arabian Lilac (Vitex trifolia 'Purpurea')

I like this tree, but I don't love it. When it blooms it is beautiful and fragrant. The bees, butterflies and hummingbirds really like it. However, there is only one bloom--at least on my tree. Then it looks a little sad, with the spent flowers and stems hanging out.

Mine loses all of its leaves in the winter. It is just now coming back and it looks very good.

Tom - If you deadhead your Vitex after blooming it will rebloom. I usually deadhead it anyway because it does look so ratty with the seeds hanging about!

Yes, I have deadheaded it in the past and got some rebloom, but it is now a fairly large and tall tree and that will require some work.

Tom, hard prune it one year. It might look lousy that year, but the next year it will be a size you can handle. :o)
