Patio Caladium Pots

These hardy plants just need a little warm soil and some occasional watering and fertilizer to provide vibrant colors all season long.

Where most plants don’t tolerate shade very well – many caladiums love shady areas!

White varieties like White Christmas, Moonlight or Candidum put on an outstanding show all season long in shady areas.
