Hello all, I have recently started gardening and brought some plants from local nursery. I live in a country where the language is not my own so trying to get a name for them is a little difficult, I have searched the net but can't really tell from a picture what they are, so please can anyone help with name and how to care for them. The weather here is hot hot hot, now just coming into rainy season so will be getting a lot of rain. Can anyone help please?
Does it need shade, what's is it?
Love the colours
Will this spread?
What is it?
So lovely but what is it?

Hi Janet, they don't do plant tags here, they may do at one of the bigger nurseries but that's quite a ride away. Many thanks for the name croton, I will have a look just now and read up on that plant. Once again many thanks

The purple plant is amaranthus blitum, I believe the yellow on is an amaranthus as well but I have not located the name yet. Still looking...

The green and white leaved plant appears to be a varigated fushia. Google images of varigated plants and see what you think yea or nay.

If you go to a plant shop, you would find all of these plants in a planter. The plants are all part of the Croton family. The fern-like plant is just that. A fern that is used in a planter for filler.

I believe the yellow and green shrub like plant (caption says Love the Colors) is a Eunonymus (sp?). I have one in my yard and it is beautiful. The purple one is a type of Wandering Jew. Not sure about the others.

I believe number 1 is a purple sandcherry bush or plant, number 4 is a varigated dogwood bush or plant .they will grow best in a sunny spot.

Okay, I'm sure you're right, but those were what the nursery I got mine from had tagged them as.
