Considered by many gardeners to be the finest caladium of them all, 'Sweetheart' Caladium dazzles with lush bright colors. Its foliage is naturally full and thick, and the shape beautifully rounded. In annual beds and containers, as a garden subject or houseplant, 'Sweetheart' will win your heart.
This foliage plant grows easily from a bulb, reaching a compact but impactful 15 inches high and wide within just a few weeks of beginning to leaf out. It is quite sun-tolerant, growing best in dappled sunlight to partial shade. The base color is bubblegum pink, incredibly bright and eye-catching, and it is freckled in white, with a broad, bright green edge to outline each leaf. Wow!
Fancy-leafed Caladiums are a gardener's best friend; they have no natural enemies and grow contentedly in any rich soil. Just plant the 'Sweetheart' Caladium Bulbs in warm (75 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit) conditions and watch it flourish with huge, wide-open leaves smattered with Christmas colors. Terrific as a bedding plant in any shady spot, they also make splendid winter houseplants.
