Caladium Rosebud Bulbs

Caladium Rosebud is a tender perennial in Zones 10 through 12 but can be grown as an annual in cooler climates. Caladiums, commonly called angel wings, are prized foliage plants. Rosebud is a fancy-leaved variety that boasts large, heart-shaped leaves perched on slender, upright stalks. The leaves are a spectacle in themselves, featuring a pink heart, a white center and veins, and a wide emerald-green border.

The Caladium Rosebud exhibits a mounding growth habit. Its vibrant hues and unique texture enhance the beauty of beds, borders, hanging baskets, and containers, especially when grouped or massed. It also serves as an excellent underplanting option and can be cultivated indoors as a houseplant by forcing the bulbs.

As a tropical plant, caladium flourishes in warm temperatures and high humidity, making it incredibly easy to grow and maintain. It thrives in shady to dappled sun locations with fertile, organically rich, consistently moist, well-draining soil having an acidic pH. However, it can adapt to a wide range of soil types. While it requires minimal maintenance, monthly fertilization can boost its growth. Caladium Rosebud is also deer and rabbit resistant and can tolerate full shade, making it a versatile addition to your garden.
