Meet the Caladium varieties (Elephant Ear/ Angel Wings)

Caladiums are prized for their vibrant, painterly foliage, with paper-thin leaves edged in green and splashed with pink, white, and deep red veins. They are native to the tropical regions of Central America and South America, where they grow in warm, humid forests. These plants grow from underground bulbs and naturally follow a seasonal rhythm, often dying back and going dormant in cooler months. With over 1,000 species and cultivars, caladiums offer an incredible range of colours and patterns to collect and enjoy.
