Notes
'June Bride' angel wings (Caladium bicolor 'June Bride') is a bulb for borders, containers, and shade gardens. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 9 and warmer, down to about 20°F (-7°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes full sun to full shade and average to wet, loamy soil. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. It forms a clumping mound of green, pink, and red leaves that grows 12 to 24 inches tall.
Pairs well with Taro, Dragon Wing Red begonia, and Staghorn fern.
