Comments: Golden Dewdrop - Duranta repens attracts plenty of flying friends to your garden as it is nectar rich and blooms most of the year. The yellow fruits are attractive to birds. Left unpruned, it will grow to 20 feet so it is best to prune it hard one or more times a year if a freeze doesn't cut it back for you. It adapts to most sites and exposures but is not very salt tolerant.
