The 'Carolyn Whorton' caladium is considered a fancy-leaf variety which simply means that the stem will grow 12-30 inches long before producing its large, heart-shaped leaf. The larger the bulb the more "eyes" it has. These three (3) tubers are considered #1 size which means they are 1 1/2 - 2 1/2 inches in diameter. Caladium mix well with other plants as they add color and texture to your garden. The beautiful heart-shaped leaves in varying colors create a great accent to your garden whether you are using them as a landscape focus or for pops of color around your garden or even in containers. Caladiums are actually grown for their foliage or leaves instead of their blooms.
You understand why they are called these the moment you look at them. Whether in pots, borders, or circling a tree, the striking whites, pinks and reds are a beautiful addition to the garden.Ĭaladium is often called "Angel Wings" or in other areas they have been called "Elephant Ears". I've come to appreciate their function and form and what it brings to our garden. June is a fun time of year! Different crinum and rain lilies continue to pop into bloom, but the staples that keep texture and color all the time right now are our caladiums.
