The blue cascade of Central America
Native to Central America, the Duranta repens offers trailing clusters of small blue-lilac flowers for many months, drawing in butterflies, followed by ornamental golden berries.
Fast-growing and free-flowering in the sun, it forms a generous shrub that thrives as a specimen or an informal hedge, bringing continuous tropical color to the garden.
"The Duranta rains blue and gold on the garden all at once."
