I have to chime in here. For the Big Box stores to put Caladium bulbs and Colocasia bulbs on there shelves in MD in Feb. IS Absolutely Ridiculous!!! They sure do not do us any favors as an industry!!!!
First of all they're generally dinky little bulbs but more importantly they are on the shelves just wayyyy to early!!!!
Folks see the bulbs on the shelves and buy them and some do but a lot DO NOT, read the planting instructions!!
Planting a caladium bulb in cold soil is a death sentence for the bulb and for folks that don't know that get a bad taste in there mouth for caladiums thinking they're hard to grow!!! That's the farthest thing from the truth!!
The absolute key to growing caladiums successfully IS warm soil, the warmer the better!!!!
If anyone ever has a question in regards to caladiums please don't hesitate to email me at CaladiumBulbs4Less@earthlink.net
The day I know everything about them will be the day I'm pushing up caladiums, I don't like Daisy's....lol.... but I do know quite a bit.....

Also, I've never heard of Pink Passion but that doesn't mean a thing!! It is not uncommon for a variety to be called different names!!
