Angel Wings 'Red Flash'
Caladium bicolor 'Red Flash' | Also known as: Heart of Jesus 'Red Flash', Elephant Ear 'Red Flash' | Rating: votes | Print / Pdf
With over 1,000 cultivars of Caladium bicolor, it is not difficult to find a garden with at least one of the species, especially since all cultivars boast a vivid display of colour. Its common names come from the shape of its large, usually heart-shaped leaves - Angel Wings or Heart of Jesus. The latter is often applied to cultivars that feature leaves that flush red or pink. For the most part, these clump-forming evergreen boasts dark or blue-green foliage. It thrives in moist but well-drained soil in partial shade, making it ideal as underplanting, but its poor hardiness means it is best to grow indoors.
