Croton in Nigeria
Crotons bring the tropics to any space with leaves splashed in red, orange, yellow, and green. They're a staple of Nigerian compounds and gardens, tough enough for roadside hedges yet striking enough for indoor pots.
Crotons are already one of the most planted ornamentals in Nigeria — they love the climate, propagate easily from cuttings, and keep their colour year-round in full sun.
