5 Seeds Duranta erecta Golden Dewdrop Ornamental Flowering Shrub

Duranta erecta, commonly known as Golden Dewdrop, is a tropical to subtropical flowering shrub grown for its cascading clusters of small blooms and the golden-yellow berries that follow. Its arching habit and colorful fruit make it a striking ornamental for warm-climate gardens, patios, and container culture.
Often used as a flowering hedge, screen, or specimen shrub in frost-free landscapes, Duranta erecta also performs well in large pots where it can be pruned to shape. It produces tubular blooms through the warm season, followed by pendulous golden fruit clusters that give the plant its common name. Seeds are small and germination benefits from warmth and consistent moisture.
