Hello Janet..If your trade is still good I'd love some of each. I do have the BES vine and many flavors of morning glorys. LMK...Thanks D.Sims

I would love to have some of your Sweet autumn clematis! I have a poppy mix and a morning glory mix. The poppy mix was collected from singles but I do have the peony type here also. The MGs are all different colors-probably not what you're looking for! -B

Hi! welcome Nicole! You've come to the right place. The Florida forum is the best. I don't care what anyone else says. As to your questions... Was it healthy when you bought it? Do not be afraid of pruning too much. You can prune Vitex to the ground, and it will come right back. It is usually an extremely tough plant. Of course, in the next few weeks is the time when Vitex starts to lose its leaves, and it remains leafless from about November through March. Pruning will encourage bushiness and if you want to prune it, go ahead and do it now. Vitex is not related to Cannabis, although the leaves are fantastically similar. Different families. However, Vitex does have a variety of medicinal properties, as do many of its siblings in the Vervain family. I grow Vitex negundo, which is a very similar species, and has serrated leaves which look even more like Cannabis ;) My Vitex has never been anything but outstanding for me. It established quickly and has been very tolerant of drought and neglect. It is planted on a slope in full sun and gets sporadic water and is mulched well. It sends up tons of nicely fragrant flowers and attracts every kind of nectar loving insect. 15 months ago, it was a seedling, and now it is about a 5 foot tree. I prune it to a single trunk; the thing is constantly sending up suckers. I hope some of this helped you out. Again, welcome and happy gardening! -Ian

Irma, I had the Vitex tree for a few years in my zone 9b and it was carefree, compact , with nice and good smelling flowers. The only reason that I took it out is because it was planted too close to the mango and avocado trees at the corner of the fence.
