[Rons Landscaping]

It is a Gold Mound Duranta, I like to use it as an accent plant because of it's lime-green foliage. The new growth will be very bright, and it looks nice when you have dark green plants for a back drop. I don't like many in a landscape because it pulls your eye away from the other plants. I don't use a lot of these plants because they are not very cold hardy. If the plant can make it through a couple of mild winters here ( which we have had the last 3-years ) and it has a chance to get established it has a better chance of survival when it does get cold. But for the norm, it will get hurt bad here in the winter when we have a freeze, and if we have a hard freeze they usually die. This plant is easy to grow, and does tolerate droughts well, and is very showy with it's lime-yellow foliage and lavender flowers as an accent.
