Although smaller than most Caladiums, the Caladium Dwarf "Candidum Jr." stands out for its striking contrast of creamy white ceneters and green bordered leaves. Easy to care for with average watering needs, this resilient plant is naturally resistent to deer and rabbits, thriving in shaded areas. Like other Caladiums, the "Candidum Jr." can be dug up in the fall and stored for replanting in the spring, allowing for multiple seasons of beauty. Associated with purity and grace due its elegant foliage, the Caladium Dwarf "Candidum Jr." is the perfect addition for gardens focused on serenity.
• Notes: Do not plant the Caladiums until soil temperature is 65 degrees or warmer and the danger of frost has passed. The Caladium can be started indoors in pots and then planted outside later. Lift immediately after first killing frost.
