The Duranta is a sprawling large shrub to around 3 or 4 metres with cane-like growth, and is fast growing. It has many common names, but we'll just call it Duranta. The flowers are on short stems, and are prolific if the plant is in full sun, and gets the right amount of water and fertilizer. The flowers are variations of mainly Blue colour. The leaves and berries are poisonous to humans, but a lot of birds like to eat them, Hummingbirds included, as well as butterflies. It is easily propagated by cuttings, and has a reputation for being invasive in some countries. Grow this plant in all but the coldest areas. The photos are from a local Sydney area.
