Duranta erecta - Golden Dewdrops

Market price from $8.35 to $15.25

Duranta erecta is a splendid evergreen tropical specimen, famously known as Golden Dewdrops, offering the best of landscaping beauty with year-round appeal. The elegance of this radiant tree is magnified during its captivating flowering period when bundles of vivid violet-blue or lavender blossoms emerge, heavily contrasting against its light green, subtly toothed leaves. Adding to its intrigue, stunning arrays of yellow-golden berries soon follow, creating a cascade that provides the plant its notable nickname and commands attention within any landscape scenario. Standing proud at around 2-4 meters tall, the Golden Dewdrops tree offers versatility by flourishing under a variety of soil types and climate conditions, responding positively to well-drained soil, full sunlight or partial shade. This resilience extends to its low water requirements and invulnerability to light frost and sea spray, making it ideally suited to coastal gardens, drought prone regions, or the water-conservative gardener. Adore its ability to quickly grow into an eye-catching hedge or stand-alone showpiece, its high appeal to enchanting birds and butterflies, or its skill to tolerate regular sculpting, so your design flair is never limited. Please note, despite its enchanting beauty, all parts of the Duranta erecta, especially the berries, are toxic when consumed, so care should be taken around children and pets.
