Very good color and fairly hardy here in Southwest Florida. Can take lots of heat, and handles periods without rain well. I had one virtually die out down to a stub and it's now coming back with some TLC. They do not grow very quickly, but if patient, they can form a dazzling hedge if spaced fairly close. I have a mix of red and green crotons as a border to my driveway here. They are used all over public areas here, in some cases as small square hedges.

We love crotons due to their variety, coloring and ease of growth. My son has started a collection and gets new (to us) wherever he can find them. He must have about 12 - 14 different varieties at this time....from very narrow long thin leaves to wider ones.
One I remember from childhood in Cuba and am looking for has leaves that are twisted...have not found those here anywhere..yet! To me they resemble uninflated balloons that when filled with air are long and have round sections
One member has or wants this plant for trade.
