6 Caladium Bulbs Caladium bicolor Buck Live Plants
Caladium bicolor, commonly known as Caladium Buck, is a tropical bulb prized for its large, heart-shaped leaves with striking patterns of white, pink, and green. This variety adds bold color and texture to shaded garden beds and container plantings, growing vigorously once the weather warms and dormancy ends.
Caladium Buck is well suited to borders, mass plantings, and patio containers where its foliage provides season-long interest. Plants grow from tubers, sending up colorful leaves through the warm months before going dormant in cooler temperatures. Bulbs are typically planted after the last frost when soil has warmed, spaced for good air circulation.
