Duranta erecta 'Geisha Girl'

I just bought it and I am not sure how it will do in Dallas since there doesn't seem to be anyone that has had success in this part of texas. I am going to put it in the ground and hopefully it will do alright.

I planted a small one gallon size of this in the spring in a very hot, sunny spot in my yard here in Houston and it is now 7 feet tall. It has bloomed continously since planted. I've had no pest problems and it survived beautifully with little water during our hot, dry summer.

I live in North Florida and this is one of my favorites! Mine is three years old and seven feet tall. It is in full sun, and I fertilize it once a month. Blooms profusely from Spring to mid Winter. Attracts bees and butterflies. Beautiful!

When I bought this plant I was told Duranta''s had fallen from popularity here in Australia because of their tendency to drop dead suddenly for no apparent reason, but that this cultivar had overcome the tendency. It is a lovely plant and I can confirm its toughness in our conditions, It has been in a large pot outside, but I am about to put one in the ground and let it grow away as much as it likes.

Beautiful scandent shrub, with much larger flowers than most cultivars. These flowers are scented of vanilla and attract bees and butterflies. Unfortunately it does not seem to produce the typical gold berries of the type species. Small berries do sometimes form but contain no seed.
Although it will grow into a lax shrub it is probably showier if pruned hard back after flowering, as it flowers on terminal and lateral racemes on the new growth.
