Caladium 'Florida Calypso' Bulbs

Caladium Florida Calypso presents large, heart shaped leaves in a rich interplay of color. Magenta pink centers are traced with red veins and framed by green margins, while splashes of white add a painterly finish. Reaching about 16 to 24 inches tall, this fancy leaf caladium carries its vivid foliage from summer until frost. Each pack contains 5 bulbs.

Florida Calypso brings sophisticated color to shaded landscapes and is equally striking in containers on a covered porch or terrace. It also makes a handsome houseplant. Its bold variegation pairs gracefully with plain green foliage, creating depth and contrast in shady places where flowers are scarce. Several tubers grouped together create a fuller, more dramatic display of color.

Plant tubers after frost, once soil temperatures reach at least 65 degrees F, in partial shade to full shade. Warm soil encourages steady growth through the season. Where winters bring frost, lift the tubers after the first killing frost and store them for replanting. Months of magenta, red, green, and white color make Florida Calypso a refined way to enliven shaded garden spaces.
