Caladium Sizzle Pink

Sizzle Pink, the newest Caladium in our lineup, is sure to brighten shady spaces with its heart-shaped, vivid pink leaves that are wildly ruffled and feature a smattering of white and a bright green edge. Plus, the color changes, depending on where you plant it. In full sun, the foliage appears more red, while full shade creates a deep rose-pink hue. Ideal for mixed container plantings or as a shade garden staple. Mix with ferns or hostas for a more dynamic look.
