This foliage shrub is probably the most common plant in our province in Batangas. We commonly called it as “Golden Doranta”. Golden Duranta are fast-growing and easy to care for; they are often trimmed into spectacular specimens or hedges, but hedges do flower as well.

Golden duranta are very adaptable to a wide range of conditions, though are best in warm to tropical climates. They must have full sun all day to maintain dense growth and the golden foliage color. The soil should be well drained, but not necessarily rich. Once established, the plants are tolerant of drought.
