Description
Enhance your planting combination with the refreshing strawberry-crush-coloured leaves of Caladium 'Spring Fling'. This stand-out variety flaunts an unusual candy hue but the same distinctive heart-shaped leaves and striking veining as all its Caladium friends, it’s a great one to combine with contrasting foliage plants for a tropical look or to settle into a more traditional style with pastel-coloured flowers.
Providing a long and consistent season of colour, from spring right through to autumn, enjoy this exotic pink beauty as a summer bedding plant where it will be a season-long staple in borders, patio containers or on balconies. Growing Caladium 'Spring Fling' outdoors, it’s happiest in a sheltered, partially shaded spot. If you’re partial to a bit of indoor gardening, you can give this a whirl in your home as a contemporary house plant too!
