DREADLOCKS Tropical Croton Live Plant Slow Growing Unusual Twisting Cascading Leaves Burgundy Green Yellow Bronze Coral Emerald
================================================

Dreadlocks is a newer Tropical Croton introduction, which, up until the past few seasons, has been fairly widely available in the chain stores.

However, that seems to have changed recently due to the length of time required to grow out a truly nice specimen. This is a really unique and interesting croton, and a great choice for a show stopping focal point, but a very slow growing cultivar as compared to other crotons.

It grows moderately large, and will eventually mature at around 3 to 4 feet, with long, linear, ruffled leaves that taper slightly at the rounded ends.

The new growth emerges green, then changes to bright yellow, followed by bronze burgundy green tone, with paint splattered speckles of yellow, peach, red, and orange appearing as the leaf ages.

It is on the top 10 list of the most visually striking and interesting crotons. The color range shifts and changes depending on the age of the growth, available light and current ambient temperatures.

This croton takes time to reach its full size and color range. Starter plants tend to be mostly green and yellow.
