Description
Abstract of Croton plant leaves in brightl coloring. This image was taken with my in-camera "effects" setting then slightly colorized. Photoshop was not used for this image. Part of a series of abstracts.
Crotons (Codiaeum variegatum) are tropical plants that grow outdoors in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 9b to 11 and as houseplants elsehwere. Growing to a height of 6 to 8 feet and width of 3 to 6 feet, crotons are attractive as a single plant or a grouping and grow well in pots or in the ground. Their green leaves turn into shades of yellow, red and purple, showing their brightest colors in the sunlight. You can grow cultivars of crotons such as "Banana," "Bravo," "Gold Dust," "Icetone Red," "Karen," "Mammy," "Norma," "Petra" and "Sunny Star" in the warm outdoor climates with a few precautions and some care.
