Peles Fire

Ray, I thought I recall hearing that sometime ago, I have a P.Paintbrush. So what is the Croton in the Online Croton Reference under the name Peles Fire? It looks nothing like Picasso's Paintbrush but more like Zanzibar leaf shape. I like the look of that "Peles Fire".
 
Yes, do tell! Ron posted that pic without rebuttal from the board so I posted it. If it zanzibar, we need to correct it. Perhaps these potential gafs will finally get the local experts over to the wiki :p:D
 
Bren, I went looking for pics of my Zanzibar (RIP) from last year. I guess I never took any of it.:mad: I do remember I had a hard time with it. It would flush leaves and drop, flush and drop...and the cold finished it.
 
Scott,

For our area, those really thin narrow leaf forms can be kept in a pot. Historically for me, those varieties tend to defoliate way before others and at temps several degrees above freezing. Just my two cents.

Ray
