Description
Red Flash is a caladium with colourful foliage, suitable for full shade and able to perform in full sun when given a small, steady amount of drip irrigation. The tubers come from tissue-culture stock, which supports vigorous growth and strong garden performance. Leaves can also be used as filler in flower arrangements.
Start the tuber indoors in a 2–3 inch pot with bottom heat, then plant outdoors when the soil reaches about 65–70°F at a depth of 4 inches. Caladiums dislike cool soil. Plant one tuber per square foot; the leaves provide colour through summer and the plant suits containers on its own or with other plants.
