Park Seed Caladium Blend

Unlike traditional Caladiums that scorch in direct light, this specific blend is bred to handle full sun to part shade. However, in extremely hot climates, they will still appreciate some relief from the intense afternoon sun to keep their foliage looking its best.

Each pack contains 4 bulbs, which is enough to create a nice cluster in a container or a small grouping in a garden bed.

They are excellent for containers. Because they reach a mature height of only 12 inches but spread up to 24 inches, they work beautifully as a low-growing, lush filler in pots or as a border plant in landscape beds.

They thrive in moist, well-drained soil. Whether your garden soil is loamy, sandy, or normal, the key is ensuring it stays consistently moist without becoming waterlogged, which can cause the bulbs to rot.

Caladiums are hardy only in zones 9-10. If you live in a colder climate, you will need to treat them as annuals or dig up the bulbs in the fall before the first frost and store them indoors for the winter.

You will see foliage from early summer through early fall. They are warm-weather plants, so they prefer to be planted once the soil has warmed up in the spring.
