Candidum Sr. is a South American native grown for spectacular, colorful leaves. Leaf size varies by cultivar and leaf tone changes as the leaves mature.
Start inside in 2-3 inch pots with bottom heat right after arrival, since it hates cool soil. Plant outside after frost once soil at 4 inches deep stays 65-70°F, 1 tuber per square foot.
