Croton ‘Mamey’ is a foliage selection valued for its elongated leaves and warm, blended coloration.
This selection features long, slightly twisted leaves in tones of green, yellow, orange, and red, creating a flowing, layered effect. The narrow leaf shape adds movement and texture, distinguishing it from broader-leaf varieties. It forms an upright, branching structure with a lighter visual weight, making it effective in mixed plantings where variation in form is desired. This croton is widely used in tropical programs for its unique leaf shape, warm color transitions, and ability to add movement and contrast to container combinations.
Why it works
· Elongated leaves add movement and texture
· Warm color transitions for a blended look
· Distinctive form within the assortment
Key Specs
Light: Bright Light to Full Sun
Water: Moderate; prefers evenly moist, well-drained soil
