    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Prefer caladiums with big--no really big--colorful leaves? Allow us to introduce Red Flash. Tall, at 2 to 3 feet, and with very large smoky green leaves that are netted and speckled with rosy pink, Red Flash is a standout.

    Caladiums are beautiful natives of the South American Rain Forests. With their brilliant colors in fascinating designs, and large heart-shaped leaves, they've become landscape favorites, especially since they are perfect for shaded areas. They're very easy to grow to boot. Red Flash it the showiest of the Caladium and my favorite hands down.
