Caladium ‘White Christmas’ is a highly decorative plant with arrow-shaped leaves filled with pure white that contrast with the deep green veins and the thin margin. 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.
