Caladiums are tuber-rooted tropical flowering perennials. They have no stems. Arrowhead-shaped leaves are of various shades, ranging from green mottled and blotched with pink, red, white or combinations thereof often with distinctively coloured veins. The plant grows up to 2 feet tall and up to 2 feet wide. Caladiums are used in shady beds and borders. They provide warm colour in areas too shady for most flowers. This plant often grown as a houseplant and tubers can be overwintered indoors. It can also be grown as an ornamental plant.
