The Heart to Heart® Fast Flash™ caladium is a striking variety that brings bold color and texture to any space. With its impressive red hue, dark red central veins, and delicate pink specks, it creates a stunning contrast against the green margins of its leaves. Whether planted in sun or shade, it thrives in a variety of garden settings, making it a perfect choice for landscapes. It also works beautifully as a thriller in container arrangements, adding height and visual interest.

Adaptable as a houseplant, the Fast Flash™ caladium prefers bright light or a sunny window, where its vibrant foliage can truly shine. This versatile plant brings a touch of elegance and drama, making it an excellent addition to both indoor and outdoor spaces.

Care: If you live in a northern climate, be careful not to plant too early in spring as temperatures below 60 degrees F will chill and stunt plants. Caladiums like to be moist at all times so avoid allowing them to dry out. Fertilize with Proven Winners Water Soluble Plant Food  at ¼ - ½ strength every week throughout the season.

Houseplant: Caladiums can also be grown as houseplants where they prefer bright light or a sunny window. Keep the temperatures above 65 degrees F for best growth and leaf size, and a pebble tray or frequent misting can help to keep the humidity up around your plants.

According to the ASPCA, caladiums are toxic to animals if consumed.
