8 Tropical Plants Your Customers Will Love
Hort Couture
Alocasia ‘Loco’ from Hort Couture is a statement piece and the perfect accent piece for mixed containers. Crinkled, dark-green corrugated leaves are set off by white midribs.
Colocasia ‘Tropi-cools Madeira’ has velvety-black leaves that also work well in mixed containers. This compact grower reaches 2 to 3 feet in height, and unlike other black-leaved selections, it does not take over in the landscape.
Cordyline ‘Centerpiece Electra’ is a bright and showy C. terminalis form. It boasts bright fuchsia leaves streaked with hot-pink and creamy-chocolate striations.

Appreciate publicsizing 2 of our New Caladium introductions With 75 to 1oo million being shipped yearly worldwide, caladiums just do not seem to get the exposure they deserve. Anyhow,thanks. Harry Hollander, Abbott-IPCO Inc. By the way Classic Caladiums is a sister Company of Abbott-IPCO,Inc.
