10 Bulbs Florida Clown Caladium Caladium bicolor Live Bulbs

Florida Clown Caladium is a tropical foliage plant prized for its vivid heart-shaped leaves, each patterned in bright pink-red with white speckling and a bold green border. The foliage emerges from dormant tubers in warm weather, quickly forming a lush, colorful display that adds striking contrast to shaded beds, borders, and containers. This variety is a favorite among gardeners seeking dramatic leaf color in warm-season landscapes and interior plant collections.

Florida Clown is grown primarily for its ornamental foliage rather than its flowers. The large leaves work well massed in garden beds, mixed into tropical plantings, or featured in patio containers and hanging baskets. It performs best in warm conditions with filtered light and consistent moisture during the active growing season, then naturally goes dormant when temperatures drop, with the tubers able to be lifted and stored for replanting the following season.
