Description
Let Caladium 'Red Flash' flare through your planting schemes with its glaring carmine spark and cool Jurassic appeal! Like lava flowing out of a volcano, streams of molten red look like they’re erupting from the centre of each contrasting dark leaf. Show it off as a centrepiece or mix and match with other Caladiums for a vibrant foliage clash – if your style is to stray from the ordinary, this unworldly character is sure to tickle your fancy!
Grow Caladium 'Red Flash' outside as summer bedding or indoors as a funky house plant! When growing outside it likes a partially shaded, sheltered spot with a nice rich soil. It’s perfect for filling in the front of an exotic border combined with bright flowers and architectural jungle-style plants, or for tucking into container displays.
Our Caladium bulbs are cultivated in Florida, USA
