Croton ‘Petra’ is a foliage selection valued for its bold veining and classic croton appearance.
This selection features broad, oval leaves with prominent yellow to red veins set against a deep green background. The strong vein structure creates a defined, recognizable pattern, giving the plant a structured and polished look. It develops into a dense, upright shrub with a full canopy, making it a reliable choice for both standalone and mixed plantings. This croton is widely used in tropical and seasonal programs for its classic appearance, strong patterning, and consistent performance in high-light conditions.
Why it works
· Bold veining for a classic croton look
· Strong color contrast across each leaf
· Clean, structured presentation
Key Specs
