Codiaeum variegatum var. pictum 'Corkscrew' is a versatile and robust evergreen shrub known for its spectacular, vibrantly colored, spiral foliage. Part of the Euphorbiaceae family and native to Southeast Asia's lush tropics, this hardy plant bursts to life in striking hues of yellow, red, green, and on lucky occasions, a dramatic splash of purple.

Standing gracefully at a height between 2 to 6 feet, the Corkscrew Croton paints a distinctive, avant-garde portrait in any indoor or outdoor environment.
