Bring the colors of fall into your home with beautiful tropical Crotons, known for their bright multi-colored foliage.

They do best in a sunny window with direct sun. You do need to water them but can let them dry out between watering (not bone dry, please). Keep them moist and don’t let them sit in water. Like many plants, Crotons are poisonous. Please keep them up and away from pets and children.

Stephanie Fleming was raised at Behnke’s Nurseries in Beltsville. Her Mom, Sonja, was one of Albert & Rose Behnke’s four children. She was weeding from the moment she could walk and hiding as soon as she was old enough to run, so many weeds, so little time. Although she quickly learned how to pull out a perennial and get taken off of weed pulling duty.
