Sky Flower (Duranta Repens)

The Sky Flower, scientifically known as Duranta Repens, is a compact, ornamental shrub native to tropical regions of the Americas, including Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean. Typically growing to a height of 30–50 cm, this versatile plant features bright green, oval-shaped, glossy leaves arranged alternately along its stems.

Sky Flower is admired for its clusters of small, trumpet-shaped flowers, which are usually blue or purple and highly fragrant, attracting bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. Following flowering, the plant produces small, round berries in shades of yellow or orange, adding seasonal interest to gardens and landscapes. Its compact growth and colorful blooms make it ideal for use as a border plant, low hedge, or in container gardens, including indoor settings.
