Description

Fourth in the Croton series which captures the sunlight shining through the brightly colored leaves of this plant.

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.
