Plant description
Duranta repens is a tough, evergreen dense shrub that grows to 4 metres tall and wide, with pendulous purple sprays of flowers followed by round orange berries.

Duranta is an easy care plant that is rarely troubled by pests or diseases. It copes well on most soil types. Does well in full sun and part shade.
This plant can become invasive and weedy, as it self seeds readily.
The leaves and berries of Duranta are toxic.
