About the Croton Society

The Croton Society is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting the introduction, propagation and distribution of new species, improved varieties, and sports of Croton (Codiaeum variegatum) plants.  Through our meetings, seminars and field trips, we collect and share information regarding propagation techniques, growth characteristics, cold and salt tolerances, and other environmental requirements. The objectives of this Society are to promote interest through education, research and development of the plant Codiaeum vareigatum of the Euphorbia family (Croton).

The popularity of Crotons indoor and out is increasing at a phenomenal rate and the Croton Society is in a unique position to boost the current popularity. The individual collections of the Croton Society membership, if taken together as a whole, may contain more different varieties of Crotons than any other group in the world. Each new member brings with them their own skills and circle of contacts.  With membership in the Society you can share in the experience and expertise, both horticultural and historical, and can benefit new members and the Croton-loving public. 

Croton Society Members already benefit from access to this huge inventory and the depth of knowledge we each have in our gardens. The meetings and events expand our collections and contact with other Croton lovers. New ideas, knowledge and research on locating, propagation and distribution of Crotons, will not only enhance our experiences, but the experience of all who have an interest in Codiaeum Variegatum!
