Florida Roselight Caladium Bulbs | Fancy Leaf Tropical Foliage

Soft Pink Glow with Crimson Veins — Elegant and Evolving

Florida Roselight is a beautiful fancy-leaf caladium with large pink blotches across a green background, framed by a narrow dark green border and accented with crimson-red veins. What makes this variety especially captivating is that its coloring continues to deepen and shift as the leaves mature — you’ll find new depth and richness throughout the season. Growing 18–24 inches tall, it’s a refined, showy addition to any shaded garden or container display.

How to Plant Caladium Bulbs

Plant tubers knobby side up, 1–1½ inches deep and 8–14 inches apart. Wait until soil temperature is consistently above 65°F. Removing the main bud before planting encourages fuller, denser growth with more leaves.

Care Tips

• Soil: Warm, fertile, moist, well-draining mix with good organic content
• Water: Keep consistently moist; avoid cool, waterlogged conditions which cause tuber rot
• Light: Partial sun to shade; protect from harsh afternoon sun to preserve foliage color
• Ground cover use: Excellent when massed as a showy ground cover in shaded areas
• Winter storage: In zones below 9, dig tubers in fall and store in a dry, airy place until spring; or overwinter potted plants indoors

Florida Roselight is a great choice for brightening shaded corners and combining with blooming annuals like impatiens and begonias for a rich, tropical look.
