Caladium 'White Christmas' is a highly decorative plant with arrow-shaped leaves filled with pure white that contrast with the deep green veins and the thin margin. Not hardy for any of us but it's easy to save the corms over winter (at 10 degrees Celsius
If you have neighbors who plant a snowstorm of caladiums every season and have for years, odds are good that this is their go-to variety. White Christmas is white with deep green veins, mid height and very dependable. Choose White Christmas for shade to partial shade sites, where it will drop the visual temperature a few degrees, cooling those blistering August days.
