Brighten any dark corner or understory shade area with this breezy white caladium. A fancy-leafed variety, Summer Breeze's pronounced pink and emerald veins are nicely defined against the white leaves, adding just that little bit of spark. A winner in 2016 Texas caladium trials. Group with shade loving pink accents - impatience, torenia, perilla - for a look that will carry summer's refreshing breezes into fall.
