In my opinion, one of the most beautiful caladiums. Thrives in the Dallas metroplex (must treat as an annual unless you lift the bulbs), grows in full, compact clumps with lush color.

I have left my bulbs inground for two years and only a few come up. Rating it neutral because I like other varieties better.
