The variegated foliage of the Heart to Heart® Splash of Wine Caladium is extraordinary and makes a showy statement in a landscape. This Caladium hortulanum has white heart-shaped leaves with cranberry red and pink splotches reminiscent of abstract art. The midrib, veining, and margins are bold green. This annual is grown for its ornamental foliage, and the flowers are insignificant.
Feature this annual in a border or foundation planting. The variegated foliage looks stunning in a mass planting, but the leaves also provide contrast and color in a mixed planting. Add to a mixed container as a leafy thriller. The Heart to Heart® Splash of Wine Caladium is easy to maintain and heat tolerant for added convenience. Deer tend to leave it alone, making it a good pick for areas with large deer populations.

Heart to Heart® Splash of Wine Caladium Spacing
The Heart to Heart® Splash of Wine Caladium reaches 15 to 20 inches tall and 10 to 14 inches wide. Space plants 10 to 14 inches apart when creating a mass planting.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
