Strange, they are drought tolerant, you say? All we ever get here is wet!! I wonder why they chose to plant these? <br />I always liked them, they are evergreen, and cheerful looking. Never knew what they were called though.Silvia Hoefnagels .

But lately they are featured a lot in the garden centers out here and I guess I have a new appreciation for their colorful foliage. I haven't gone so far as to buy one yet but who knows?LostRoseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06586462466899344347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36031863.post-35628521895755649662006-11-15T19:33:00.000-08:002006-11-15T19:33:00.000-08:00I never liked Crotons much in Texas, but the wild ...I never liked Crotons much in Texas, but the wild colors seem to suit this tropical environment. A few months ago I bought 4 different kinds and they are doing well. <br /><br />My favorite so far is the skinny-leaved one (I need to learn the names) with all the colors. It reminds me of a wild hairdo. <br /><br />I like that purple one -- I have that one, too.
