    Some sites list it as zones 10, 11 and others as zones 8-10. Many sites show the height of the parent plant (10 feet or better) for this cultivar. That is wrong! This is an extremely dwarf Duranta with a max height of 24".

    Frequently used as a front of border "hedge". May be pruned to shape but forms a neat mound unattended. Often paired with flowering trailers in baskets.
