Crotons for Purchase by Shipment

A statue made up of pots and plants

  Our smaller size plants grown in one-gallon, or 6-inch containers--are about as heavy as we'd dare ship.  These small, one-gallon plants range in price from $32. to $49., which includes shipping within the continental United States. Plants shipping West of the Mississippi are assessed an additional $8.00 and those to Hawaii would be slightly more. 


 TO ORDER, PLEASE CALL or TEXT MARK PETERS 1-772-240-2811.


   We ship Mondays and Tuesdays so plants reach their destination by week's end. Please contact us for the most up-to-date availability, exact pricing, and shipping information/costs. 


   The bulk of what we offer at seasonal Florida plant sales, and in our Nursery, are Crotons grown in 3-gallon/8" and 10" containers. These larger (three-gallon) plants range from $18. to $27.


Smaller, 6" potted plants --offered for sale with shipping charges included below-- can also be purchased at our Vero Beach nursery for much, much less than prices quoted here.


   Our limited 2023 Spring Show Schedule is posted in the Calendar Section.


     The Nursery is open every Saturday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. ~ No Appointment Necessary. Monday through Friday we open our nursery for private, call-ahead or text-ahead appointments.  We have two large shade houses filled with Crotons and Hawaiian Ti plants. With 2 to 3 of us (at most) ever working here, there is plenty of space to move around without violating the six-foot rule. 


      To set-up an appointment for Monday to Friday, please call or text ahead of time:

(772) 240-2811. Currently we have more than 30 Croton and 30 Hawaiian Ti (Cordyline) varieties available.


   The Palmpedia/Tropiscape link below allows you to consult the excellent and comprehensive A-Z Croton Encyclopedia loaded with individual photographs of, and other errata on hundreds of cultivars.
