Duranta ‘Sheena’s Gold’ is widely grown as an ornamental plant for its attractive golden foliage and its ability to add colour and texture to landscapes.

Foliage: The most notable characteristic of Duranta ‘Sheena’s Gold’ is its striking golden-yellow foliage. The leaves are small, ovate to elliptical in shape, and have a bright golden-yellow colour.
