Description

Duranta repens is an evergreen shrub prized for its vibrant golden foliage and delicate flowers. Native to tropical regions of the Americas, it thrives in warm climates like Cyprus and brings year-round interest to gardens. It typically grows 3 to 6 feet in both height and spread, forming dense, colorful mounds. From spring to fall, it produces small lavender to blue or white flowers, attracting pollinators. Its easy-care nature, drought tolerance once established, and suitability for hedges or borders make it a versatile landscaping choice. With occasional pruning, it maintains a neat shape and bright presence in any sunny location.
