Caladiums are recognized and used by garden designers for their unique patterns and lively colors. They grow fast and brighten shady areas in the landscape or container plantings. Native to the Amazon River basin, the original commercial caladium varieties came to the Americas through European greenhouses. Cultivars separate into two main categories. The large heart-shaped leaves are characteristic of the fancy-leaf cultivars, and lance-leafed cultivars have more narrow elongated leaves.
