Caladium ‘Kathleen’

Caladium 'Kathleen' is a shade lover with beautiful arrow-shaped leaves of pink with bright green margins.

Caladium ‘Kathleen’ will bring cheer and delight to any shady area of the garden with its delicate foliage adorned in large, pink-salmon heart-shaped centres and edged with bright green margins. Commonly referred to as Angel Wings due to its beautiful, arrow-shaped leaves. Use as mass plantings, in containers and hanging baskets or as year round houseplants. 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. Deer resistant.
