Codiaeum variegatum Croton Cheryl
Croton ‘Cheryl’ is a colourful tropical foliage plant prized for its narrow, glossy leaves splashed with vibrant shades of green, yellow, orange, and red. Its fine-textured foliage and upright growth habit make it an excellent choice for adding bold colour and tropical character to gardens, patios, and indoor spaces.
This hardy croton performs best in warm, bright conditions where its foliage colour becomes more intense with maturity.
