Strings of purple flowers against bright green leaves. Duranta are subtropical to tropical flowering large growing woody shrubs. With care and time, they may be pruned into small upright, multi-trunked trees. They can tolerate full sun in low deserts but require more water to maintain a healthy, lush appearance. They look their best in the afternoon shade. The branches end in many connected long racemes of purple to blue flowers. They bloom heaviest in spring but can produce blooms in flushes through the year. Blooms are followed by strings of golden yellow balled seeds responsible for their other common name Golden Dew Drops, which are just as ornamental than the flowers. Maintaining them at a smaller size is done easily by annual selective pruning directly after flowering.
