Longfield Gardens Caladiums

Yes, they are highly adaptable. While they can handle full sun, they are excellent for shady spots where other plants might struggle, making them a versatile choice for brightening up darker corners of your garden.

They are perfect for both. Their size and foliage make them ideal for containers or hanging baskets, but they also perform beautifully when planted directly into garden borders or walkways.

Caladiums are heat-lovers and should only be planted once the soil has warmed up significantly in the spring. Wait until all danger of frost has passed and temperatures are consistently warm to ensure they establish properly.

For the best results, space your bulbs about 6 inches apart. This allows enough room for the foliage to spread to its mature width of 16 to 24 inches without overcrowding.

These are classified as annuals in most climates. While they thrive in zones 9-11, gardeners in cooler regions will need to lift and store the bulbs indoors over the winter or treat them as seasonal plants to be replaced each year.
