Caladium hortulanum

Fancy Leafed Caladiums are very showy foliage plants with bright red, pink, green and white variegated leaves. You'll enjoy these South American beauties with heart-shaped, rainbow-colored leaves...prettier than most flowers.      Pot early indoors with a starting temperature of 70° or more, then plant them, pot and all, outdoors in the shade or semi-shade after spring frosts. Or, plant them in shady window boxes where sun-loving annuals won't grow. Water well and spray leaves frequently during hot, dry weather. Excelllent for conservatory or warm sun porch during winter. Hardy in Zones 10-11. Elsewhere after frost arrives, dig, dry and store bulbs in a cool, dry frost-free place.
