Duranta (3 Gallon)

Duranta (3 Gallon)
A graceful grower with golden charm and trailing blooms.

Duranta, often called “Golden Dewdrop” or “Sky Flower,” has been brightening Southern gardens for generations. Native to tropical regions of the Americas, this stunning ornamental shrub brings both beauty and versatility to the landscape. Its delicate purple or blue blooms—sometimes followed by golden berries—make it a showstopper from porch to garden bed.

Beyond its good looks, Duranta is a symbol of grace and light. At Wright’s Market, we love how it reminds us to let our roots run deep and our hearts shine bright.

Plant Highlights:
🌸 Signifies: Grace, light, and resilience
🌿 Maximum Height: 4–6 feet in a container; up to 10–15 feet in-ground with time
☀️ Bloom Time: Late spring through fall, often continuously in warm climates
🌍 Where It Grows Best: Full sun to partial shade; thrives in USDA zones 9–11

Care Instructions:
Duranta loves sunshine and well-draining soil. Water regularly during the first growing season, then let it dry slightly between waterings. It responds well to light pruning, which helps shape the plant and encourage more blooms. In colder zones, bring indoors during frost or treat as an annual.

Complimentary Plants:
Grows beautifully alongside Lantana, Bougainvillea, and Hibiscus for a bold tropical palette. Add Sweet Potato Vine or Dusty Miller for trailing interest and contrast in containers.

Lush, fast-growing, and full of warmth, this 3-gallon Duranta is a reminder that beauty can grow quickly when it’s planted with care. Just like family roots and front porch memories.

With love from our garden to yours,
