Duranta Cuban Gold (Duranta erecta 'Cuban Gold' or sometimes called Duranta repens 'Cuban Gold') is a compact, evergreen shrub known for its vibrant chartreuse to golden-yellow foliage. This tropical plant typically grows 2-3 feet tall and wide, creating a bright accent in the landscape. In warmer climates, it may produce small lavender-blue flowers followed by golden berries, though it's primarily grown for its colorful foliage. It's excellent for borders, hedges, containers, and adding a pop of color to garden beds.
