CROTONS--CODIAEUM

          Crotons, also sometimes called variegated laurel, are  a high light plant that can add color to your home or office.  Native to Malaysia and the Pacific,  we use them readily outside in our Florida  landscapes.  In Florida they can be a shrub or a small tree.  In your house they are usually only in the bush form.  Croton comes in a combination of green, yellow, white, orange, pink, or even purple.  Their bright fall colors make them very popular.  Even florist will cut the leaves to put in flower arrangements as they are very tough.
