Codiaeum variegatum var. pictum ‘Gold Star’

Description

Adored for their striking colours, the ‘Gold Star’ is the latest Codiaeum cultivar to wow plant lovers with its eye-catching foliage. Long, narrow leaves mottled with variegations of golden yellow and vivid green burst out of the soil in a spectacular display. A lover of warmth and sun, it’s a perfect addition to an east or west facing sunny windowsill. It doesn’t like to be moved too much once settled into its new spot, and watch out for draughty windows as Codiaeums dislike fluctuations in temperatures.
