Once again for 2012-13 we have premium Caladium Bulbs for sale. In general all of our selections stand up to morning and filtered sun, but Caladiums do better with some shade.

 

Bulbs are 70 cents each pre-ordered by October 31, 2012.

After October 31, 2012, price is 80 cents each.

A discount on boxes of 200 bulbs (of one color/variety) are $130 per box if ordered by October 31, 2012

Compare at $1.00 each. They are well worth the investment.

These varieties produced well last year and offer variety of color and looks for any garden. My next door neighbor clustered Red Flash with Clusters of White Christmas behind them. With their American Flag, it was quite striking.

Red_flash_copy  Red: 

  • Red Flash: very large leaves and showy. These were the last Caladiums to come up last year, but produced well for me through out a dry summer. Can stand morning and filtered sun. 

White:  

  • White_christmas_copy  White Christmas very large leaves and showy as well. Stand up well to Texas heat and create a cool feeling.

Miss_muffet_copy Strap:

  • Miss Muffet. This is a smaller leaf. It stands up well to Texas heat. I used as a border for Pink Hydrangeas and a backdrop behind Tuberous Begonias for a very nice effect.

Pink: Carolyn Whorton   

Carolyn Whorton A showy pink that can stand up to some sun. Intense pink with red splotches and green. Large leaves. The Carolyn Whortons produce large full plants that are quite showy against evergreens.

Order now, because orders are filled first come first serve--and for the past two years we ran out of some varieties within the first week of arrival and could not fill orders.

Ordering now helps you look at those "color holes" from our harsh summer where Caladiums were a dependable color source ALL SUMMER LONG.

Since our grower cannot guarantee his crop, substitutions are occasionally required.

Sorry. We only provide distribution to the Greater Houston, Texas, USA area. We are located in SW of Houston in East Fort Bend County in Missouri City and near Beltway 8 and HWY 90A (South Main Street in Houston).
