Codiaeum variegatum or Crotons, are the most popular of South Florida’s colorful foliage plants with brilliantly-colored leaves with splashes of red, orange, green, pink and gold. They thrive best in partial shade to full sun. It is an easy-care shrub that features a multitude of bright colors and is quite low-maintenance. These make excellent container plants, particularly in pool-areas as they are non-messy.
