The Codiaeum variegatum ‘Magnificent’, native to Indonesia and Southeast Asia, is an evergreen shrub celebrated for its vividly colored leaves, changing from green to shades of yellow, orange, pink, red, and maroon as it matures. Suited for bright light but shielded from direct midday sun, especially in warmer climates like Oklahoma, it flourishes in moist, well-draining soil that is allowed to dry a bit between waterings. Considered drought-tolerant once established but prefers temperatures above 60°F. Ideal as a houseplant or a summer outdoor plant in cooler regions, it should be noted for its potential irritant effects if ingested.. Mature Size: 6′ x 3′ after 5 years. Morning Sun Afternoon Shade.
