Mary Lee,
I find that it is too much trouble to dig and store caladium bulbs. I just buy new ones every year. I have had some that come back from year to year if they didn't rot over the winter or if the squirrels didn't get to them.

How about hostas with your holly fern? Or, for an annual, impatients, like in the picture above? Or a low growing ground cover that will accentuate the holly?

Nery,
Here is a picture I just took of some of my holly. This is about 4 years old and it is really a presence in my garden (even if it is a little overrun this year). :-)
