Caladium

Size: Between 12 and 30 inches tall

Lighting requirements: Part sun to shade

Winter: They are hardy to zone 9, so they die during the average winter here.

Plant these when the soil has warmed up to about 70 degrees (typically late April). They prefer a pH of 5.5 - 6.5 and would benefit from a bit of cotton seed meal if you plant them in the ground.

Fun Fact: There are over 1,000 named cultivars of Caladiums!
