6 Bulbs Florida Cardinal Caladium Heart-Shaped Foliage

Florida Cardinal Caladium is a shade-loving tropical tuber prized for its vivid, heart-shaped leaves featuring deep red centers framed by broad green borders. This striking selection adds bold color and a lush tropical feel to beds, borders, hanging baskets, and patio containers. Each order includes six dormant tubers ready for the growing season.

The bold foliage works beautifully as a focal point in shaded garden beds, as an accent in mixed containers, and as a bright addition to indoor plant collections. Plants grow in a clumping habit, sending up successive leaves through the warm months. Tubers may be lifted and stored over winter in cooler regions and replanted the following spring.
