Duranta

Gold Mound Duranta (Duranta repens 'Gold Mound') is a compact, mounding shrub known for its bright lime-green foliage that provides stunning contrast in the landscape, especially when paired with darker or purple-leaved plants. Its low-growing habit and vibrant color make it an excellent choice for borders, mass plantings, or as a colorful accent in tropical and subtropical gardens.

Care Needs:

• Light: Full sun to partial shade; best color in full sun
• Water: Regular watering; keep soil evenly moist but avoid overwatering
• Soil: Fertile, well-drained soil
• Temperature: Hardy to light freezes; protect or cover if not well established
• Growth Rate: Slow
• Pruning: Minimal pruning needed; shape or cut back in late winter or early spring
• Fertilizer: Apply balanced fertilizer during the growing season for best color

Berries may be toxic to pets if ingested
