Caladium

Caladium x

Popular perennial (grown as annuals ) known for the colorful heart-shaped leaves available in several colors with many variations with streaks, spots, and patterns. Strap leaf varieties are appropriate for afternoon sun while fancy varieties need to remain in the shade. Caladiums row 24 inches tall and wide.

 Well drained soil is appreciated, and exposure depends on the variety; strap leaf varieties can tolerate afternoon sun, while fancy leaf varieties must remain in afternoon shade. Regular watering is required during growing season, however in the winter when the plant dies back to the tubers soil should be kept dry.
