Brighten any shaded garden with the 'White Queen' Caladium, a tropical beauty native to South American rainforests. Its large, heart-shaped leaves feature a striking creamy white color, accented by vibrant crimson centers and a subtle green trim, perfect for illuminating darker garden areas.

Plant in spring when soil has warmed, and protect tubers from frost in cooler climates by overwintering indoors.

What customers say

The White Queen Caladium offers stunning visual impact with dramatic white and pink veining, creating an elegant tropical feel in shaded areas. When established, the foliage size and color vibrancy are exceptional showstoppers. However, customer experience is highly variable due to significant concerns about initial tuber quality. Many reported receiving soft, moldy, or nonviable tubers, leading to poor sprouting rates and dissatisfaction. For those receiving healthy stock, the resulting display is excellent, confirming the plant's high aesthetic value. The core issue remains the inconsistency in tuber viability, which directly impacts the overall perceived value of the product.
