In our back yard, we planted this 'Sapphire Showers' (Duranta erecta) early on in our gardening, like 2007 or 2008. Back then, we weren't into native plants like we are now. I guess we just thought it was pretty.
Since we've had little rain in the past year, I thought it was amazing to see how well it's doing all these years later. Plus, this is the best I've ever seen it look, and I don't think it's ever bloomed as heartily as it is right now. At the start, I would water it during hot summer months, but that hasn't happened in the past many years.
