About Elephant Ears
If you’re looking for a big, bold pop of contrast and color, look no further than this beauty. Because she is native to tropical areas, Caladium acts as an annual in Chicago gardens, but what she lacks in longevity she makes up for with her red, pink, green, and white highly-contrasted foliage.
Some Caladiums may produce greenish-white flowers, which are usually pruned to allow all of the plant’s energy to go to that show-stopping foliage.
Caladium does best as a container plant, as she does not tolerate cold, soggy soils. She can thrive in hot, dry, sunny areas of the garden, but is extremely sensitive to cold and would prefer to never get below 65°F.
