Introducing the Duranta erecta Climber Plug Plant supplied as a plug plant, a magnificent and vibrant addition to any garden or balcony. This remarkable shrub showcases stunning violet-blue flowers, perfectly complemented by its attractive orange-yellow berries. While the mature branches may occasionally develop thorns, the younger shrubs are thornless.
Although commonly seen as a shrub, the Duranta erecta occasionally grows into a small tree and can also thrive as a creeper. It thrives best in a sheltered location, basking in ample sunlight. Keep in mind that the Duranta needs to be protected from freezing temperatures to ensure its health.
When handling the berries, exercise caution as they are toxic to humans and many pets, including dogs and cats. However, these berries are a delectable treat for songbirds who are immune to their toxins and genuinely adore them.
Golden dewdrop, Pigeon berry, and Skyflower are some of the common names given to this magnificent plant. Standing at an eventual total height of 160+ cm, this Duranta erecta plug plant adds a touch of elegance to any landscape. To maintain its well-being, water the plant moderately and provide it with a location that receives a balance of light sun and light shade.
