Stardust Colorful Shade Loving Caladium

Large leaves show a white star surrounded by 'dust.'

Showy foliage plants with heart-shaped, variegated leaves of bright red, pink, green and white. Pot early indoors, then plant them, pot and all, outdoors in semi-shade after spring frosts. Or, plant them in shady window boxes. Water well and spray leaves often during hot, dry weather. Excellent for 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.
