Compact yet bold, the Caladium Fancy Leaf "Florida Elise" grows 18-24" tall, boasting bright pink leaves and green borders that create a striking display. Perfect for either gardens or containers, this plant flourishes in partial to full shade from the early summer to the first frost. While its delicate pink represents charm, this flower is also practical - naturally resistent to deer and rabbit, and its tubers can be dug up and stored in the fall and replanted again the following spring. It's perfect for adding a whimsical touch to any space.
• 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.
