Also, we're going to need how and why you use the idiom "for a person who likes himself too much". I can't see how that is connected to a plant being of different colours.

Possibly a narcissist:
an extremely self-centered person who has an exaggerated sense of self-importance
Merriam-Webster
Interestingly, this also has a plant connection. The word comes from a character in Greek mythology:
a beautiful youth in Greek mythology who pines away for love of his own reflection and is then turned into the narcissus flower
Merriam-Webster
