Grown for their showstopping foliage, Caladiums bring bold color and texture to gardens without needing flowers. The leaves come in a wide range of patterns—some speckled, some veined, and others boldly blotched—adding an exotic, artistic flair. Caladiums thrive in warm weather and prefer shade to partial sun, though some newer varieties tolerate more light. They work beautifully in containers, garden beds, and around tree bases, especially in humid climates. Since they grow from tubers, they can be lifted and stored in colder zones to replant the following season.
