[background=#ffffff]The coral bush (Jatropha multifida) is native to Mexico southward to Brazil, but as a foliage plant it will grow in Zones 8 through 10. Although this is a flowering species, with red flowers blooming periodically through the entire year, the leaves are its best feature. Coral bush has palmate leaves with 7 to 11 narrow lobes. Each lobe has a number of pointed segments, and the undersides of the leaves are whitish, compared to the dark-green upper surfaces. Coral bush grows from 6 feet tall to as high as 20 feet and is an evergreen shrub in many locations, according to Desert Tropicals.[/background]
