Caladiums are indigenous to Brazil and neighboring areas of south and central America, where they grow in open areas of forests and along river banks. These tender bulbs, which are commercially cultivated in the sub tropics of Florida and Brazil, love and require warmth, and are easy to grow and maintain. They are known for their lush contrasting edges, veins and multi-colored Tropical foliage, even though they produce white flowers. They are best grown grouped in the garden. Best budget choice! Brilliant colored foliage in combinations of red, pink, Rose, white, chartreuse, and green. Eye-catching color.
