Every once in a blue moon we get blooming plants here at AT, mostly because they're so striking and beautiful. The Duranta is no exception. With its small, oval-shaped leaves and beautiful violet flowers, these are a great plant to home indoors and outside and add elegance to any space they inhabit. 

The Duranta plant likes bright, direct light at all times, but can handle some shade during the day. This makes it a great patio or solarium plant. It also needs well draining soil, but likes to stay moist (especially if it's getting a lot of sun). Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. These don't need a lot of fertilizer, so you can easily leave it be to thrive in the sunshine. Bring inside when temps reach below 40 degrees F.
