Caladiums Collection

Great shade garden plant

Leaves more beautiful then flowers

Plant them in the garden, hanging baskets,

pots, barrels, or tubs.

Caladiums are indigenous to Brazil and neighboring areas of south and central America,

where they grow in open areas of forests and along river banks. These tender bulbs, which are

commercially cultivated in the sub tropics of Florida and Brazil, love and require warmth,

and are easy to grow and maintain. They are known for their lush contrasting edges, veins

and multi-colored tropical foliage, even though they

produce white flowers. They are best grown grouped

in the garden.
