Breathtakingly colorful houseplants and lively outdoor hedges, the Mamey Croton Plant (Codiaeum variegatum var. pictum 'Mammy') feature leathery leaves splotched and spattered in yellow, orange, red, purple, bright pink and green variegated patterns. This creates a magnificently showy sunset array of colors on every leaf. What's more? Mamey grows in an upright twisted or corkscrew manner, creating ruffled leaf edges!
The large paddle-shaped leaves in a dizzying array of colors add instant impact indoors and out, and they're very forgiving and easy to care for! Dense and compact growth 2-3 feet in height, outdoor shrubs can reach a larger size. The unique growth has earned this shrubby plant the name Corkscrew Croton.
These brightly colored shrubs hail from Australia and Southeast Asia, where they grow as a slow-growing broadleaf evergreen perennial. Staying smaller and compact, Croton adds massive impact with a small footprint. For those living in USDA Hardiness Zones 10-11, Croton Mamey can be grown outdoors and becomes an incredible specimen!
Planting and Application:
Croton deserves a place of honor in your home where it can display its striking foliage and soak up the sunshine. One of the few houseplants that love direct light, south, west, or east-facing window is a preferred location, these are easy-care air purifying plants and the unique growth makes them curious specimen pieces that deserve a prominent area in the home!
Outdoors in frost-free growing zones, Croton are used as hedges and specimen plants, creating small-scale accents and privacy, complementing mixed plantings in pots and planters around the porch, patio, balcony and front entry! Highlight either side of your home's front steps with a pair flanking your steps or a row along your driveway, sidewalk or paths! Dress up foundation plantings and tired beds with a fantastic boost of pure color!

#ProPlantTips for Care:
Croton needs a bright, partial shade outdoor location or bright filtered/indirect light while indoors for the most color. Tropical evergreen shrubs do not tolerate overly dry sites or soggy areas. Plant in a well-drained enriched environment with regular fertility and consistent moisture. They also dislike frost, so avoid drafts indoors and protect outdoor plants from frost. Prune off any sickly or poor growth, and pinch back any leggy growth to encourage bushiness and branching.
- Bright Indirect Light
- Moderate Consistent Moisture
- Regular Fertility & Enriched Well-Drained Soil
- Prune or Pinch Back Damaged, Sickly or Leggy Growth
- Rarely Bothered By Deer
