Croton 'Picasso'

Like someone flicked a paintbrush over a plant — and nailed it. Croton 'Picasso's Paintbrush' grows narrow, grass-like leaves splattered in red, orange, yellow, and green, a freehand color study that changes with every new leaf.

Crotons color up best in bright light, even a few hours of gentle direct sun. Keep the soil lightly moist and the humidity moderate, and avoid cold drafts (it'll drop leaves to express its feelings). A vivid, textural pick for windowsills that need a little abstract art. Available in 4" pots.
