Due to this year's early warm weather, it seems that everything in the greenhouses (and around us outside, too!) is ahead of schedule. Even the portulaca is blooming- wow! Among all of this earlier-than-usual color there are a few plants that have really caught our eye, namely all of the colorful caladiums. This particular variety, Miss Muffet, is one of Marty's favorites for its bright and unique foliage:
So fun! But of course there's more- in fact, there's over 1,000 different kinds originating from South America. You'll find red, pink, white and green caladiums, often with a unique varigation or a textured edging. Their foliage is a wonderful addition to a shady bed or container either alone or grouped with ferns, grasses and begonias.
So why not consider a caladium or two? You can't beat the non-stop color and beside that they have Marty's stamp of approval!
