Duranta Flowering Plant Info :

The Duranta flowering plant (Duranta erecta) may reach up to 10 feet in height and flowers profusely from summer until the first heavy frost. The shrub-like plant is multi-stemmed and the branches are somewhat droopy. The stems may have sharp spines. Orchid-like flowers may be light blue to light purple in color. Some plants develop loads of yellow, ball-shaped drupes. Chemicals in the fruit may make them poisonous to humans but harmless to birds that enjoy them immensely.

Duranta Care Must-Knows

Duranta is an extremely easy-to-grow shrub or annual, depending on your location. These plants thrive in well-drained, moist, fertile soils. They are also very tolerant of sandy soils. In containers, give these plants a standard, well-drained potting mix, and add some slow-release fertilizer. Full sun is best for these shrubs, as they will have better habit and won't get loose as they would in the shade. Flower production will also be much better in full sun. Keep these plants well-watered. If they start to wilt, they will happily bounce back once watered.

How to Grow Duranta

If you live in an area where Duranta plants are treated as annuals, a large container (such as a half whiskey barrel) is a fantastic place to grow the plant. When the weather becomes chilly, you can bring the plant inside and place it near a south-facing window for beautiful color all winter long. Duranta plants prefer rich organic soil that is somewhat loamy and drains well. It is especially important to keep soil light if you are planting in a container. Be sure that your container has plenty of drainage holes. If planting in the ground, choose a location that receives full to part sun for best flowering display. Allow plenty of room for this tropical beauty to spread out.
