Shade Gardening: Caladiums for shade, 1 by pirl

While some caladiums can tolerate the sun, they all perform beautifully in the shade. I love how they brighten spots that have only brief morning sun - like this spot. The photo was taken at 8:19 AM on August 3rd and you can see the shade creeping in already at the left side. Hosta and some other plants do well here but it's the caladiums that are the star attraction.

Bill of Caldium Bulbs 4 Less has his Classified Ad on DG now and is giving a 15% discount to all of us when we use his code for our order. Here's his ad. http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/1289645/

Be sure to check out his "collections" of every kind. I ordered (among other items) the rare collection and it is 5 bulbs each of four different (separately bagged) caladiums that you won't see in most gardens.

In the past I have bought from other places (I am a blonde!) but after growing Bill's caladiums I'm totally hooked on them.
