Gold Edge Duranta is a tall tropical annual shrub with an upright mounding habit that can be trained into a tree and boldly variegated gold edged foliage. While it rarely flowers, dangling raceme sporting small pale purple flowers may bloom in summer. Best bloom in full sun and well-drained soils. Very drought tolerant.
