The Heart to Heart® ‘Rain or Shine’ caladium stands out with its unique coloring and fantastic vigor. Its large, heart-shaped leaves emerge in dramatic shades of deep bronze pink-red, accented by soft pink speckles and bold black veining. In certain lights, a hint of purple may also shimmer, adding an extra layer of intrigue. Whether in sun or shade, this caladium is perfect for use as a thriller in containers or as a striking focal point in landscapes.
Adaptable as a houseplant, ‘Rain or Shine’ thrives in bright light or a sunny window, where its vibrant foliage can fully shine. This caladium brings bold, dynamic color and texture to any garden, container, or indoor space, making it a true showstopper.

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.
