Know before you buy
These plants thrive in shade to partial shade environments. They perform best when protected from harsh, direct afternoon sun, which can scorch their delicate foliage.
Intermediate growth means these plants reach a moderate height, making them neither ground-hugging nor overly tall. This size is ideal for filling in the middle of garden beds or creating defined borders without obstructing views of larger shrubs.
Caladiums are tropical plants and are typically perennial only in warm climates where the ground does not freeze. In cooler regions, you will need to dig up the bulbs before the first frost and store them indoors for the winter.
Pink Beauty caladiums are known for their long-lasting color. While the intensity may shift slightly as the leaves mature, they are bred to maintain their blush pink and green mottled display throughout the growing season.
