I have about 8 different kinds of Caladium growing along the front of my house. The shade varies from medium to heavy shading, with a little bit of each kind in each type of shading. All but the Fannie Munsons look great. And the Fannie Munsons look really nice for a few weeks. In fact, they are prettier than the rest when the first bloom. But then they start looking ratty. So, if you don't mind the short life span, then they are great. But for me, compared to the others I'm growing, they seem to fizzle to fast.
