| Comments: Cuban Gold Duranta - Duranta erecta 'Cuban Gold' is the golden boxwood of the tropics where bright colors are welcomed in so many of our gardens. Cuban Gold can be shaped and restrained to be the smallest edging plant and even used in knot gardens or it can be encouraged to grow to a tall dense screening hedge if needed and room permits or anywhere in between. Large plants will bloom light Lavender blue flowers and attract butterflies and hummingbirds. Cuban Gold is a widely used 'FILLER' plant for many combination creations and can live for years in a container if pruned from time to time. |
