Need a Name

[Jim Glock]

This croton was purchased on the East Coast at a nursery in Boynton Beach. The name that they gave us for the plant was "Chalupa" which was the name of their dog. This croton's mature leaves are orange and black. It must have a real name.

Does anyone have a guess as to what this might be?

Thanks

Jim,

That's Phillippine Red. I have one from my honeymoon in Oz. It's relatively common there and in Hawaii.

Ray the leaves are similar to the Phillippine Red in the book except for one thing. There is no red color on this at all. Orange and Black is what all of the mature leaves are.

The name is misleading. None of the ones I've seen have red leaves.

Misleading name and very nice (Better than Chalupa). Judy, how long before you get an airlayer on that one?
