Last year, I decided I wanted some caladiums. I’d been seeing pictures of some particularly showy leaves and thought I’d see how I like them for myself. None were out yet at the garden centers. So, I got online and found a site that had some attractive bulbs for reasonable prices. And they came 2 to a package. I picked out 3. Since I’m not sure how they’ll overwinter in our climate, I put one of each in a pot and one of each in the ground.

They are actually in 2 pots because one started crowding out the other two. And that has been my experience with anything I’ve tried to grow together. One always shoves the rest out of the way.

If all of them come back, I’ll put the potted bulbs in the ground, this Spring. If the outside plants don’t make it, they will continue to be in-and-out plants.
