I have a huge Vitex agnus-castus 'Carolina Blue.' It is about 12 feet tall now
and oh, 20 feet wide. It is about 5 years old and started with a four inch pot
of it Now I have them germinating all over the place. I dig them out in the
fall and like today at the garden club, have them to swap. It's a beautiful
plant.


Indeed, that's the one I'm looking for! I prefer a more blue
tinge to the grayish purple more commonly found. However, the
locals seem to have just the species.

If you are willing to wait till the fall I can mail you a nice sized specimen.
I only ask you pay the shipping. I have several out there needing to be dug up.
I didn't get the chance this spring, but they transplant well if removed at the
proper time. It can also give me an opportunity to see the color of the bloom
to make sure you get what you want. I have the species in the yard too, but in
my experience, the plants come true at the base of the mother plant.

Let me know.
