Caladium
Shade loving! Fancy Leafed Caladiums, South American beauties are very showy foliage plants with bright red, pink, green and white variegated leaves. Pot early indoors with a starting temperature of 70° or more, then plant them, pot and all, outdoors in the shade or semi-shade after spring frosts. Or, plant them in shady window boxes where sun-loving annuals won't grow. Water well and spray leaves frequently during hot, dry weather. Large No. 1 size bulbs, 1½-2½" in diameter. Hardy in zones 10-11; elsewhere dig and store in a frost-free area for winter.
