Pohinahina   Vitex rotundifolia

Family:  Verbenaceae

Description:  This shrublike groundcover can serve many purposes in the landscape. With low water requirements and no pest problems, this plant has become popular as a pruned, low shrub or dense groundcover.  Plant 3 feet apart and let the plants fill in an area. The more pruning, the better this plant looks. This plant does well on the coast or in dry environments, though it will do fine at mid elevations if planted in the full sun. We grow this plant from seed or cuttings.
