Hey Jan...Your yard is really comming along there!
I recently planted the white/green variegated Duranta you gave me in the ground. I hope it blooms, but the foliage is very nice and if that's all I get I will be just as happy...lol!

I have a small white one still in the pot. It just bloomed now I will have to stick my nose in it to see if it smells...
I read that some of these varieties have thorns when mature....have you found that to be true?
I haven't seen any thorns on mine.
I trained my purple one to a standard also. It may need more trimming by next spring. It's getting pretty big!. Can't get the whole thing in the picture.
