Help identifying this plant
1 Attachment(s)
When the landscapers planted 3 of these plants, I was told they would produce purple flowers. Not one flower yet and I can't remember the name of the plant so I can't do any research on it. Does anyone know what it is?

Does it have thorns? If so, it Duranta. |

I have one and yes, I do believe it is a Duranta like Bonanza said. Mine didn't flower at all last year, when it was new, but this year I have to constantly cut it back as it is growing like a weed. It's about 4' tall and I have trimmed it a few times so far this summer.

Is it Plumbago? http://ts4.mm.bing.net/th?id=HN.6080...489106&pid=1.7 |

Definitely plumbago, Gracie.
Now, on the other hand, Brightspot -- are you sure your plant has no thorns? If you are sure, the only other possibility that I am aware of is a variety of Ligustrum called "Sunshine". I hope that helps! |

Mine does not flower when the plant is as small as this one shown, mine flowers on the ends of long branches. This may well be a different variety than mine. |

It ia a "Gold Mound Duranta" like some have said
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.
