1 Caladium Bulb Mixed Fancy Color Tropical Foliage Plant
Caladium is a tropical foliage plant prized for its large, heart-shaped leaves patterned in combinations of pink, red, white, and green. Each mixed bulb may produce unique coloration, making it a rewarding choice for containers, borders, and shaded garden beds.
Caladiums are grown mainly for their striking ornamental foliage, which adds bold color and texture to shaded areas and patios. Plant the bulb in warm soil after the last frost, keep it evenly moist but not waterlogged, and enjoy the foliage through the warm season; store the bulb indoors during cool months in cooler zones.
