Description
Duranta Repens 'Geisha Girl'
It’s hard to imagine that something so pretty is hardy, but Geisha Girl is bomb-proof.
She’s an extremely hardy, evergreen tall sized shrub with fresh lime-green new growth that deepens on arching branches - but her flowers are the main event.
They appear in sprays of mid-purple with each little flower showing off delicate white edging. The blooms have the most amazing vanilla fragrance that pollinators go crazy for.
Geisha Girl will grow pretty much anywhere so she’s a popular choice for flowering hedges and not-so-great soil. She rocks a container too, but make sure she gets enough to eat and drink in there - its hard work producing all the flowers.
Once established she’s drought-proof, frost-proof, and rarely gets any sort of disease. Cut back by a third after the flowers have faded if you want to keep her at a more manageable height.
Quick Facts:
- What to use me for: I’m a tough flowering hedge, fill a large container to break up a boring deck, and look stunning in the border.
- I grow to: I’ll reach 2.5 to 4 metres tall and 2.5 metres wide.
- Where to place me: I like sun and partial shade.
- How far to space me: For a tight-knit hedge I need 1 metre, for anything else around 2 metres is fine.
- Soil Conditions: I’m not fussy, but I appreciate a layer of mulch each year and water during very dry spells.

Let me kick off with watering.
Succulents don’t like a lot of water and long periods of drought won’t hurt yours one bit, they’re the best type of plant for forgetful folk, or those that are away from home a fair bit, so don’t feel bad if you haven’t given him a drink yet. One of the most common mistakes people make is watering them too much! The best potting mix for succulents is a well draining one. Using a good potting mix of porous soil for succulents is super important to prevent overwatering. Water your succulent when the soil is dry. Soak it thoroughly rather than giving it regular sips and always empty excess water from the saucer as it will rot the roots. If you’re struggling try one of our self-watering pots they make a plant killer look like a pro! In winter succulents need even less water. You can touch the soil each week and if it’s even a bit damp then leave it alone and try again the following week. Succulents need little moisture and although it seems cruel, a sure-fire way to kill your beauty is by watering it frequently. This will turn it to mush.
If in doubt, leave it without.
