Fancy Leaf Caladium, Caladium 'Carolyn Whorton'

CONTAINER PLANT

Caladiums are grown for their showy leaves. In summer they produce clumps of long stalked, heart-shaped leaves. Caladiums are extremely easy to grow in moist, well-drained soil. These shade loving but sun tolerant plants thrive in heat and humidity. Soil temperature needs to be 70 degrees F. or higher when planting. Plant in containers which can then be easily lifted in northern climates where they may not survive the winter if left unprotected.
