1 Caladium Red Flash Bulb Live Plant Caladium bicolor Shade Garden Foliage

Caladium Red Flash is a tropical foliage plant grown from a bulb, prized for its large heart-shaped leaves splashed with red and pink centers framed by green margins with speckled accents. A striking choice for shaded beds, borders, and patio containers, it brings bold color and a lush tropical feel to warm-season gardens.
Often grown as an ornamental accent, Red Flash performs well in shaded to partially shaded locations where its colorful foliage brightens dim areas. The bulbs sprout and fill out through the warm months, making them ideal for container plantings, mass beddings, or mixed tropical displays. Bulbs are planted after the last frost when soil has warmed, and foliage typically emerges within a few weeks.
