2 Bulb Caladium Fancy Leaf 'Candidum' | Angel Wings | Elephant's Ears | Malanga
A classic caladium with snow-white, heart-shaped leaves and dark green veins. Candidum is especially dazzling in deep shade and by moonlight when the leaves are almost luminous. For best results, grow this variety in full to partial shade.Caladiums are beautiful natives of the South American Rain Forests. With their brilliant colors in fascinating designs, & large heart-shaped leaves, they've become landscape favorites, especially since they are perfect for shaded areas.They're very easy to grow, but you must take care and remember that they are tropical. This means you can't plant your tubers until the ground has warmed up in spring. In the south, that means May. In the midwest and north, it means from mid-May until mid-June.Great for pots. The cold sensitivity of Caladiums is why they've become big favorites for pots, baskets, and patio planters. If you start them indoors, you can simply put the pots outside once your weather is warm. And in fall, the pots make everything simple.
