Croton monanthogynus
A short croton, good for rock gardens. Attracts butterflies and is the larval host for Goatweed Leafwing. If you see some of the leaves rolled up, there’s probably a caterpillar inside!
A very mild tea can be made by steeping the leaves. Self-seeding annual, full sun, dry soil.
