Caladium ‘Heart & Soul’ is a sun tolerant cultivar with beautiful white-centred leaves that often flush pink and green edges all overlain with red spots. Truly stunning. Can withstand 6-8 hours of morning or evening sun. Not hardy for any of us but it’s easy to save the corms over winter (at 10 degrees Celsius) and bring them out in spring. Caladium love heat. Best to start indoors and move outside once nighttime temperatures are above 15 degrees Celsius. Use as mass plantings or in containers and hanging baskets or as year round houseplants.
