Caladiums are wonderful tropical foliage plants grown for their spectacular, multicolored heart-shaped leaves that come in combinations of red, pink, green and/or white, with colored midribs and contrasting backgrounds and borders. The varied leaf colors and patterns create many uses for caladiums in the landscape.

Fancy-leafed caladiums grow between 12 and 30 inches tall depending on the individual variety and growing conditions. Lance-leafed caladiums are generally a little smaller. Caladiums can be used in borders as bedding plants and also make great container or window box plants.

They look great in mass plantings where they can provide a striking contrast with the green foliage of other plants, especially when planted in the foreground. Caladiums need protection from full sun for best growth and color. They prefer a slightly acid soil and do best when kept consistently moist but not wet.

This year spring came early--and right now is the perfect time to plant Caladiums. We still have a limited selection of caladium bulbs in stock, so stop by and pick some up today. Your garden will be the talk of the neighborhood!
