Caladium Mixture brings Angel Wings and Elephant Ears types grown from tissue culture stock for vigorous summer foliage. Top sized No.1 tubers run about 1 1/2-2 1/2 inches across and leaf size and tone shift by cultivar and maturity.
Start indoors in 2-3 inch pots with bottom heat because the tubers hate cool soil. Plant outside after soil reaches 65-70°F at 4 inches deep, spacing 1 tuber per square foot. Use alone in containers or mixed with annuals, perennials or other bulbs.
