Reply:Its hard without a picture but, maybe Vitex agnus-castus or family or a member of the Robinia family perhaps Robinia x slavinii "Hillieri'.
Reply:Since there are no pictures and a rather nondescript description of the plant it is impossible to say what it is. I would suggest that it is a weed type of planting and should not be put in your garden.


I purchase my breakfast cereal at the grocery store and not the local hardware or nursery store. I buy my plantings from a true nursery not the grocery store. It is one thing to be cautious of whatever you buy at a flea market, however, be certain that buying plant material is a major no-no. Sorry about that and I hope it helps. Chalk it up to experience and get thyself to a nursery for the exact type of plant you want and need. Good Luck.

Reply:From your description it sounds like maybe Vinca. It's a vine many different shades is purple. It's a great ground cover that has nice flowers. But some types of vinca can become invasive.
