Alternatively you may raise your seedlings but would take you some time before you get the seedlings.
To raise a seedling take cuttings about 6-10 cm long just below a node on the stem of an already existing Duranta.
Make sure the cutting comes from healthy stock.
Remove most of the leaves on each cutting leaving about 3 healthy leaves at the top.
Place the cutting in a green house or in a cover for 3-4 weeks to allow it to root and have new sprout.
