Crotons don't survive outdoor in Islamabad winters; may be they do survive if tried indoor, but not sure.

Colored foliage plants can make a landscape wonderful. They look prettier when planted against different shades of green. My personal favorites are acalyphas, cordylines and coleus.

Yes Umar, they are from my Karachi garden. I dont see much acalypha here is Islamabad as it is frost sensitive.
