Notes
'White Christmas' angel wings (Caladium bicolor 'White Christmas') 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 part sun to full shade and average to wet, loamy soil. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. The leaves show white, green, and pink colors and make a bright accent in a clumping form that grows 12 to 24 inches tall.
Pairs well with Blue star fern, Wedding Gown bigleaf hydrangea, and Evergold sedge.
