Thriller, filler, spiller

Post by Libby »

This is the first year I've used a Caladium in the combo; really like the rich red coloring. Can't tell size very good from the photo but it's an 18 inch pot. Looks like my filler is spilling, too. :lol:

Lovely! :D

I started using Caladiums 2 years ago, and I just love them, too! I get lots of compliments on them, also! Gotta love that! :D

I love those sweet potato vines, too!

Thanks, Charla! Do you grow yours as container plantings or right in the ground and dig up the bulbs in the fall? Please post some pictures, it would be great to see more varieties in different settings.

I do my caladiums in containers then dig the bulbs and store them in my office file cabinet! :lol:

I usually do them about like yours, as a center focal point. I like the pinks as the area where I have shaded, I use blues, purples, fuscias and pinks mostly.
