Croton 110 cm

A Croton at 110 cm, with the marbled red, orange, yellow and green leaves that make it one of the few genuinely multicoloured foliage plants. Where most interior greenery works in one colour, a croton adds warmth without flowers.

It is useful next to dark wood, stone or a neutral wall that needs lifting. Live crotons lose their colour quickly away from strong light and drop leaves at the first draught. This one holds the full pattern permanently, and the broad flat leaves wipe clean in seconds.
