For those that liked the 'Irene Kingsley' Croton it is a bit of a trick to get the look pictured. Grow in to little light and the leaves will color all black. Planted in sun conditions very bright red and yellow coloration.
Here she is when I received her.

I really did not believe it was the same 'Irene Kingsley' I saw in a Croton collectors garden. I was assured that planting in filtered light would give the look I desired.
Also of note that the Croton floating around with the name of 'Satan' is believed by many collectors to be one and the same as 'Irene Kingsley'.
