What Houseplant is this??

Hi another question lol... i brought this from a gardening center the other day i have no idea what it is i just liked the colours on it can anyone tell me the name of it please?




Also instead of opening another thread i also brought a Fatsia looked really healthy however it was in the house plant section but i dont want it as a houseplant. Its inside now in my living room but i want it to go outside i havent got a greenhouse at the moment i do have a shed with a little light coming in do i put it in there as im scared about the frost though? Any help would be great thanks

 

The first one is a Croton and the second a Japanese Aralea, as they call this type of Fatsia over here.

No, don't put it outside in the winter, you'll loose it. Fine to put it out in the summer though, give it some shade.

 

Sorry, Marley, I made a mistake and corrected it about the time you posted.

Yes, Croton not Coleus.

 

Yes, Marley, 4 Crotons. Two yellowy ones and 2 reddish with the narrow leaves. None of them particually nice though. The kids have some gorgeous ones in their Florida garden.

Natty, sorry that we have hijacked your thread. :o

 

I have a Fatsia about 5-6years old now it has been moved twice and I have always had it in the garden whether the garden I have is sheltered from the elements I dont know will put pic on for you if I can get my page sorted :D
