June is a fun time of year! Different crinum and rain lilies continue to pop into bloom, but the staples that keep texture and color all the time right now are our caladiums. I've come to appreciate their function and form and what it brings to our garden. Whether in pots, borders, or circling a tree, the striking whites, pinks and reds are a beautiful addition to the garden.

Caladium is often called "Angel Wings" or in other areas they have been called "Elephant Ears". You understand why they are called these the moment you look at them. Caladiums are actually grown for their foliage or leaves instead of their blooms. The beautiful heart-shaped leaves in varying colors create a great accent to your garden whether you are using them as a landscape focus or for pops of color around your garden or even in containers. Caladium mix well with other plants as they add color and texture to your garden.

These five (5) tubers are considered Jumbo size which means they are 2 1/2 - 3 1/2 inches in diameter. The larger the bulb the more "eyes" it has. Each eye produces a leaf. The more eyes equals the more leaves. The picutre above is a garden bed with jumbo tubers (Aaron, Candidum, and Candidum Jr.).

The 'Carolyn Whorton' caladium is considered a fancy-leaf variety which simply means that the stem will grow 12-30 inches long before producing its large, heart-shaped leaf. The Carolyn Whorton is considered a pink caladium because its dark green leaves have large bright pink blotches all over the them but the veins are a deeper pink.

Planting: Caladium tubers are fun to plant because they don't care how you plant them. You can plant them upside down (mainly because it is a little hard to tell the top from the bottom on a large tuber.) Plant with 1/2 - 2 inches of soil above the bulb and about 8-12 inches apart. When you first plant you caladium tuber, water occasionally. They will rot if given too much water. Once the leaves begin to appear be sure to give it more water. Every couple of days is great. It is best to water early in the morning or late evening so that the sun won't burn the fragile leaves.

☀️ Sun Tolerance in Zones 9–10:

  • Morning sun + afternoon shade is ideal.

  • Filtered light (like under high tree canopies) works beautifully.

  • It can handle full sun in these zones if:

    • It’s well-watered and kept moist.

    • It’s gradually acclimated to sunnier conditions.

    • Afternoon sun isn’t too intense or scorching (especially in Zone 10).

However, even in Zones 9–10, too much hot afternoon sun can cause the leaves to scorch or fade.

Best Placement Tips:

  • East-facing spots = excellent.

  • West- or south-facing beds = okay with afternoon shade or dappled light.

  • Containers = great because you can move them if needed.

Winter:

Do I have to dig them? For the first few years that I planted caladiums in our garden, I would continually dig them up each fall assuming that they were only annuals. Then a seasoned landscaper asked me "Why are you doing that? They are perennials here." I never stop learning! Sure enough, they not only come back every year for us in our Zone 8 garden, they get better and better each year. I was under the impression that they could only be grown in a small region of the United States. That is not true! They might grow better in different parts of the US, but they are definitely perennials worth keeping in the garden.

Here in zone 8, we have had a couple of winters now with very cold temperatures that lasted for days. We found that our caladiums planted out in the open didn't survive the winter freezes; however, those planted up next to the house did and are doing great.

Caladiums in Pots: It doesn't matter if the location is dark or not. The most important thing about storing the bulbs is that they have a temperature of at least 65 degrees. There are a couple of different things that you can do. 1. You can dig the bulbs out, wash, let them dry completely, and then store them in a dry location. Do NOT store them in an airtight container! They will mold and rot. 2. But the easier thing to do is simply leave the bulbs in the pots over the winter if you have room for them. You can stack the pots on top of each other after the foliage has died down and move into a basement or closet. Once the temperatures are consistently 65 degrees at night, you can move the pots outdoors and start watering them again.

Bold Colors, Great Quality, and an Amazing Price - Perfect Everyday Sheets
Color: Black, Size: Full
The Amazon Basics lightweight bed sheets have been such a great buy for my boys’ bedrooms. They come in a wide variety of colors, which made it easy to match each room’s style — and the colors stay bold and vibrant even after multiple washes, which honestly surprised me. The quality is excellent for the price. The fabric stays soft, doesn’t pill, and holds up well to frequent washing (a must in kids’ rooms!). Each set includes a fitted sheet, flat sheet, and two pillow shams, which makes the value even better — most sets at this price point don’t include that many pieces. Overall, these sheets are affordable, durable, colorful, and comfortable. I loved them enough to buy them in multiple colors, and they’ve held up beautifully. A fantastic budget-friendly choice for any household.

Bed Sheets
Color: Bright White Striped, Size: Queen
I’m really happy with these bed sheets. They feel soft and comfortable against the skin, and the crisp white color gives the bed a clean, fresh look. The fabric is lightweight but still feels durable and well made. They fit the mattress nicely and stay in place throughout the night. After washing, they came out looking great with no noticeable shrinking or loss of softness.

Great sheet set
Color: Blush Pink, Size: Full
Super soft right out of the package. Thin material but should be perfect for cool nights. Blush pink is the perfect shade of pink. Love this set. Highly recommended especially at this price point.
