Codiaeum Variegatum ‘Mammy’?! What do you mean? 👀🤔🪴 —— SOUND OFF🗣️ Should the name of this plant stay as is? Let me know in the comments —— The name "Mammy" historically refers to a stereotype of an African-American woman, often depicted as a caretaker or nanny figure in the antebellum South. The Croton 'Mammy' is a small, sturdy, and hardy plant with thick, twisted, and colorful leaves, which might have been perceived as having a "motherly" or "matronly" presence, thus leading to the name.
