CALADIUMS in a public garden in Stockholm

 

Caladiums are tropical perennials with colorful, heart-shaped leaves native to tropical forests in South and Central America.

 

This is an “old-fashioned” plant, having been in cultivation in Europe since the late 1700’s, used for its dramatic foliage. The leaves generally have prominently colored midribs, contrasting margins, and patterns including mottled, veined and striped, in various combinations and shades of green, white, pink, rose and/or red.
