Let foliage provide the color with Croton. Its patterned leaves bring warm tropical tones to a garden or container, with leaf shape and color varying between cultivars.
Light
Choose a bright location. Sun tolerance varies by cultivar, so ask for help matching your selection to the site.
Soil & water
Use well-drained soil or a quality container mix. Water regularly as the roots establish and keep moisture consistent without leaving the roots soggy.
Good to know
Check the selected variety and size for the plant offered. Protect from cold weather, and handle with care because the sap can irritate skin.
