Caladium Fanny Munson

Add drama and fabulous color contrast to mixed container plantings and perennial beds with this outstanding foliage plant. Caladium Fanny Munson features heart-shaped pink leaves with red veins. Colorful, shade-loving caladiums are ideal for container plantings, window boxes and the fronts of perennial borders. Because they are tender plants that don't handle the cold, many gardeners plant them in pots indoors and then move them outdoors after the danger of spring frost has passed. They also add color and charm to a conservatory or warm sun porch during winter. If not in zones 10-11, dig before frost, dry and store the bulbs in a warm, dry frost-free place.
