Caladium, White Queen

Description

Caladium ‘White Queen’

• Foliage Look: Broad, arrow-shaped leaves glow chalk-white, slashed by vivid raspberry-pink veins and edged with a thin, fresh-green margin. Each leaf looks hand-painted—perfect for eye-catching displays.
• Size & Habit: Upright, mounding clump 18–24 in. tall and wide.
• Light Needs: Bright shade to dappled morning sun. Protect from harsh afternoon rays to keep the white crisp.
• Water & Soil: Even moisture in rich, well-drained soil; never let it dry out completely. Thrives with high humidity.
• Hardiness: USDA 9–11 outdoors; grow as a summer annual or overwinter tubers indoors elsewhere.
• Best Uses: Centerpiece in shade pots, mixed tropical planters, underplanting for palms or ferns, or as an indoor accent with bright indirect light.
• Stand-Out Qualities: Long-lasting color all season, heat-tolerant once established, and a dramatic pop against darker foliage companions like ferns or elephant ears.

Plant ‘White Queen’ and watch your shade garden light up—no flowers required!
