Caladiums have been a long-time favorite of gardeners. Over the years, an increasing variety of color combinations and patterns have kept this plant well rooted in garden design. Experienced gardeners know the design benefits of foliage plants. We love ‘Tiki Torch’ and its scarlet red coloring with a broad chartreuse margin. It looks great in the garden and, with its branching habit, even better in containers and hanging baskets.
