The popular name of this large erect shrub is inspired by the clusters of bright orange-yellow berries that follow the flowers, in such quantities that they often cause the slender branches to droop gracefully. The lavender-blue or white flowers appear in loose clusters, and both berries and blossoms are often seen on a plant. Flowers have a mild sweet vanilla-like smell. There is also a form with variegated leaves, as well as one with bright yellow leaves; these do not bloom so profusely and are usually grown primarily for their foliage. Duranta requires frequent pruning to make a bushy plant, especially when used as a hedge, and needs full sun to bloom well. Bringing the potted garden a unique burst of color and form, this amazing cultivar surpasses the standard lavender cultivar in brightness and intensity. Use as a basket plant, a mounding bush or train into a standard, this plant will give the color deep purple new meaning. As free flower as any Duranta it covers itself in dripping chains of bloom. Each petal in the flower is defined by a light lavender boarder and marked by a white eye. A stunning sun lover that will bring months of gorgeous color to any garden, sunroom or conservatory.

Very time consuming plant - grows extremely quickly, needs constant pruning and dominates other plants. Should be listed as a weed. Berries are poisonous.

I have a 4 foot potted Duranta that has been the "star" of my container garden this year. Covered with white edged purple flowers and orange berries all summer it has been an attraction for both the butterflies and the people who visit. Can anyone tell me how to keep this plant healthy indoors over the winter so I can enjoy it again next year?

Excellent plant, the green leafed variety has more flowers of the darkest blue. Looks healthy even in 42C temperatures great addition to the Gulf area.

I have a beauty of a Duranta but am curious as how to "train" the now somewhat shrub into a sturdier tree? It is planted in a large pot and is doing well but I would like it to eventually be more tree-shaped...
Thanks..
Cindy
