Duranta repens

Golden Dewdrop, Skyflower

The summer-blooming clusters of white, blue or violet flowers on this glossy evergreen shrub attract butterflies. Flowers are followed by yellow, berry-like fruit along stems. Fast-growing, use as a tall screen or grow in containers. Thrives in full sun and hot summers, but needs constant water. Start from seed or cuttings in spring. Prune to control growth.

The branches of its multi-stemmed clumps are drooping. Tubular, ½-inch, violet-blue flowers bloom on stems that may have spines. Fruit clusters are 1 to 6 inches long. Good in containers.
