CZ Grain Spring Fling Caladium Bulbs

You should wait until all danger of frost has passed and your soil temperature has consistently reached at least 65 degrees Fahrenheit. Planting too early in cold soil can cause the bulbs to rot rather than sprout.

These bulbs are highly versatile and perform well in both garden beds and containers. If planting in pots, ensure you use a well-draining potting mix to prevent water from pooling around the bulbs.

While the specifications list full sun, Caladiums generally prefer dappled sunlight or partial shade in hotter climates to prevent leaf scorch. If you live in a region with intense afternoon heat, providing some afternoon shade will help keep the foliage vibrant.

Caladiums are perennials, but they are only winter-hardy in USDA zones 9 through 11. If you live in a colder climate, you will need to dig up the bulbs in the fall and store them indoors over the winter to replant them the following spring.

Each order includes 5 Caladium bulbs, which is a sufficient amount to create a nice cluster in a medium-sized container or a small grouping in a garden bed.
