Notes
'Rosebud' angel wings (Caladium bicolor 'Rosebud') is a bulb for borders, containers, accent plantings, and shade gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 8, or down to 10°F (-12°C). This plant likes part sun to full shade and average to wet, loamy soil. The clumping leaves mix green, pink, red, and white, and the plant reaches 12 to 24 inches tall. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. It spreads up to 24 inches wide, so give it room.
Pairs well with Bitter ginger, White bigleaf hydrangea, Sedge, and False shamrock.
