Description
Illuminate a shady spot with this jazzy and bright number, Caladium 'White Queen'. Brandishing an outfit of large heart-shaped leaves in a fresh fusion of white and pink, this radiant royal is sure to make heads turn! With such brilliantly vivid leaves, this variety can comfortably be paraded as a centrepiece in a contemporary or simplistic display. For those with a rebellious streak or a taste for the extraordinary, use it to create a daring colour-clash by combining with a host of contrasting Caladiums and exotic flowers!
Caladiums are exotic foliage plants and can be grown either as summer bedding, where they will provide a long season of colour from late spring right through to autumn, or as cool houseplants. When growing outdoors, they do best in a partially shaded spot with a good, rich soil. Fast growing yet compact, they’re the ideal thing for the front of a tropical border or to pad out a patio pot.
Our Caladium 'White Queen' bulbs are cultivated in Florida, USA
