'Flip Side' is a compact, repeat-blooming chaste tree that brings a Mediterranean feel to the Houston metro area. It is highly adaptable and thrives in our summer heat. While it is quite drought-tolerant once established, it requires excellent drainage. If your landscape has heavy clay soil, ensure it is planted in a raised bed or a well-draining spot, as it will not tolerate "wet feet" or standing water for long periods.
Exposure
Full Sun (Essential for the best foliage color and flower production)
Height x Width
6-8 ft. Tall x 8-10 ft. Wide
Water
Low to Moderate; once established, it is very drought-tolerant.
Zones
7 - 9
Fertilization
Apply a balanced slow-release fertilizer in early spring as new growth appears.
Pruning
Can be pruned in late winter to shape; deadhead spent blooms to encourage a second flush of flowers.
