Brighten your indoor or outdoor tropical plant collection with this set of 2 Codiaeum variegatum starter plants. Commonly known as Croton, this colorful ornamental shrub is prized for its vibrant variegated foliage featuring shades of green, yellow, orange, red, and burgundy. As the plants mature, their foliage develops even richer color under bright growing conditions.
This listing includes two (2) live starter plants originally grown in 2-inch nursery pots. Please note these are starter plants inserted into 2-inch nursery pots and are not fully rooted into the pots. The plants have fully established root systems and are shipped bare root with their original soil pods carefully wrapped to help protect the roots during transit. The 2-inch nursery pots are not included.
You will receive healthy starter plants similar to those shown in the listing photos. As with all live plants, natural variation in leaf color, shape, variegation, and overall appearance should be expected.
