Notes
'White Queen' angel wings (Caladium bicolor 'White Queen') 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. The clumping plant grows 12 to 24 inches tall and shows white, pink, and green leaves. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. Its leaves brighten dark corners.
Pairs well with Blue star fern, Wedding Gown bigleaf hydrangea, and Chinese ground orchid.
