This is another new plant from home depot. I have no clue what it is. I just love how colorful it is.

Thank you. Reading about them now. Seems like they are very hardy but tempermental.

Codiaeum variegatum pictum (Croton) is only grown here in Scotland as a houseplant. We call it Joseph's Coat because of it's multi coloured leaves.

I have to agree, croton sounds evil. I'd much rather call it "Joseph's Coat"
