Great in landscapes and containers and will grow well in sunny and shady locations. They work well in the middle of borders, are great as fillers in combination and wonderful planted alone in hanging baskets and patio planters.

They can also be grown indoors as a houseplant in bright light or a sunny window. Caladium foliage also makes a wonderful component in cut flower arrangements.
