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.
