RED ANGEL WINGS
Caladium Red (Fancy Leaf) brings a bold, high-drama tropical flair to the shade garden, acting as an instant focal point wherever it is planted. This premium selection is highly prized for its oversized, heart-shaped leaves that boast rich, luminous shades of crimson, scarlet, or deep burgundy. The intense red centers are framed by contrasting deep green margins and highlighted by prominent, structural veining, creating a dramatic color display that doesn't rely on flowers. Rising on long, elegant stems from warm-weather tubers, the foliage forms a lush, upright clump that stands 14 to 20 inches tall and spreads 12 to 18 inches wide.
These tropical foliage plants are at their absolute best when positioned in partial shade to full shade. While red pigments provide slightly more sun stamina than lighter white varieties, protecting the large, thin-textured leaves from harsh, direct afternoon sun is essential to prevent bleaching and leaf scorch. In landscape design, they are an invaluable tool for adding depth and rich color to dark garden beds, creating high-impact mass plantings under tree canopies, or serving as a structural "thriller" in premium shade containers and patio urns.
