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.
