Very nice color - new growth turning into old growth. Green leaves to yellow leaves to red leaves. Hey! Just like a stoplight! Watch this one for Croton Scale, though. Two of mine, in the ground, have been hit hard by it.

No scale here yet...
But they're all fixing to go in the greenhouse until spring, and that's where the critters all seem to like to reproduce...

There is a few good reasons that this croton variety is so popular:
1. Its pretty drought tolerant after establishment.
2. Roots fairly easily from cuttings, prolific as an air layer.
3. Is one of the more cold hard crotons.
4. Can take alot of sun, looks best with half a day lighting.
5. It is probably one of the most outstanding looking crotons when well grown!
