Style name: 3 strap-leaved caladiums are tuberous tropical perennials grown for their colorful, broadly lance-shaped leaves with heart-like lobes. The cultivar 'white wing' has white, ruffled leaves with irregular green margins. The leaves are borne on upright stalks that arise directly from the rounded underground tuber. All caladiums thrive in warm, fertile, moist soil with good drainage. The roundish tubers rot in cool damp soil. Like most strap-leaved caladiums, 'white wing' tolerates full to partial sun (in contrast, fancy-leaved caladiums have larger, broader leaves that typically scorch in full sun).Plants go dormant in prolonged dry weather, but are nearly evergreen where conditions remain warm and moist year-round. Caladiums are perfect for brightening shady areasbining with blooming plants. Where hardy, use them as garden accents, or mass them as showy ground covers. Strap-leaved caladiums also work well in hanging baskets. In temperate zones tubers can be dug in fall
