Colorful shrub that makes a nice accent

Petra Croton is a very easy-care, colorful shrub. Petra is fuller than many of the other Crotons. Extravagant leaf coloring is best used in an informal grouping.

Ovate leaves feature red, yellow, bright pink, and green shades. Responds very well to bright sunshine, and warm weather.
