No wonder you love them so much. They're perfect for your garden. Gotta love a plant that gives so much for so long!<br />I've never tried growing one. Can you believe it? I'd love to though. Probably in a container, as Joey mentions, would be a good way to go in my NY garden.<br />Your garden is a delight!

I especially love the reds, and I love the way you have them planted in rows. I too love, love, love these cheerful hearts. They are some of the first things I threw into my garden when I bought my first house two decades ago. They really give a lot of bang for the buck. Right now, my caladiums are starting to fade.

I am glad I never put them in the ground as it was early summer and I decided to wait until next spring. I will have loads for pots now up there. I would love to put them in the ground there also, but I am assuming they would be an annual up there and have to be dug up at summer's end.

I'm not certain as to how they last but they make a wonderful addition to any arrangement. Welcome and thanks for your kind comment.<br /><br />Lisa,<br />I LOVE your window box!

I returned from my week's travels last night, and I was so happy to see (only gardeners notice how the plants have grown when they pull into their dark driveways after being gone for a week) that my caladiums and coleus around front had sprung up even more.

I put them in my window box every summer. They are the best at bringing color to that little spot. They even bloom for me there occasionally. It is raining here this morning. YAY!!! Our first drop of water this month and it is actually several drops. Almost an inch is predicted. I hope we get every drop available.Lisa at Greenbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07743973292900758183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3160717311376074400.post-64085522686373032082010-09-10T06:52:49.834-04:002010-09-10T06:52:49.834-04:00I love all your caladiums.
