I was leery at the time of planting some in a corner of totally dead shade. You encouraged me and the rest is history. #1 Planted them 5/19. #2 8/12 growing well. #3 8/12 showing the earliest morning light and it still does not reach the dead shade in the corner. #4 They mingled beautifully with the hosta plantaginea and they're still going strong. #5 At the base of clematis Dr. Ruppel to hide his ugly legs! In January I ordered 10 packages from you and next January I'll probably order more. The ease of growing, no deadheading, fantastic colors and the green and whites are so beautiful, and NO lifting at the end of the season, which goes into November here: all these things make caladium the ideal plant. They are also terrific for hiding the bare legs of clematises! |
