Croton 'Petra'Want color all year round? Crotons are for you and are such a great plant for your landscape. Smaller hedge and very low maintenance. These gorgeous shrubs can jazz up an all green landscape or work well with flowering shrubs or other plants prized for their bright foliage like the Ti plant 'Red Sister'. A benefit of mixing crotons with flowering shrubs is the consistency of color in the landscape, even while other plants are not in bloom.
