Magnificent Croton
It has large and broad leaves that are green, pink, yellow, orange, burgundy, and deep purple. Love a sunny place in your landscape.
Magnificent Croton is a compact and dense shrub when young, but grows leggy and rounded as it matures. At maturity can reach 4 to 7 feet tall and 3 to 4 feet wide. And I have seen some that are larger. Make sure you plant your Magnificent in a place that will allow it to spread. Cold Hardy in zone 9. Croton is frost tender and in many cases will not survive freezing temps for long periods of time. Winter damage will cause leaves to fall off. But the good news is they should return as soon as spring arrives. At maturity, the Magnificent becomes more drought-tolerant, but it prefers a regular watering schedule. It is somewhat salt-tolerant and can handle a minimal salty wind. They are said to be deer-resistant. The Magnificent grows well in containers and will make a great colorful tropical addition to any porch, patio, pool cage, or pool deck. The Magnificent can also provide a splash of color inside your home. Find a bright light location that does not get that scorching summer sun and is out of the way of any AC/heat vents to put one or two. Remember the Magnificent is a tropical, and like humidity, so it may need to be misted when grown inside your home. The Magnificent is just one of the beautiful croton that we have available at Big League Garden Center.
