    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    One of the best pink caladiums available today, Carolyn Whorton sports brilliant crimson veining, pink leaf interiors, deep green edges and overall splashes. Very showy. Performs well in full sun to partial shade, a nice wide range. Notes from the Dallas Arboretum Field Trials for this caladium state "This variety really pops in the shade. Striking glossy red that puts on a show."
