Native to the tropical coasts and open woodlands of Central America, the Caribbean, and South America, Duranta Purple Showers delivers one of the most dramatic floral displays you can get from a single plant. Its long, drooping clusters of rich violet-blue flowers bloom almost non-stop in warm weather, creating a stunning waterfall of color that stops everyone in their tracks. After blooming, small golden-orange berries appear that attract birds and add a cheerful bonus to any outdoor space.
