Here's a pretty little gem that I rooted in the summer of 09. It's been sloooooow. But this spring/summer coming up will be it's first while in the ground.

 

Any history on this one?

 

No, other than it was part of a batch of cuttings given to me by Bob Alonzo and he identified this plant as such. The cuttings in total were about 20-25 different varieties and all came from a garden on the east coast. I do remember seeing a larger plant at the home of Robert Halgrim when I was there with Bob. As bad luck would have it, I missed bringing this plant home when I was there digging others.

Thanks Bren!!! This is a very rare croton and I'm beginning to understand why. It's extreamly slow growing and my guess is that it dosen't send many lateral branches off of it too.

Deja vu all over again.
