Our Tropicalismo Shade Bulb Collection will transform your garden with rich, textural foliage. Caladiums and Elephant Ears grow quickly in warm weather to create lush layers of leaves. Plant this easy-to-grow collection as a backdrop for bright flowers, or create a living wall that will transport you to the tropics. These plants make an excellent grouping for containers on patios, porches, and balconies. With their brilliant colors and fascinating patterned leaves, Caladiums and Elephant Ears have become favorites for shaded areas. Collection of 8 bulbs.
To determine if a plant is sufficiently cold hardy, the USDA created numbered zones indicating winter low
temperatures; the lower the zone number the colder the winter.
If the coldest winter temperature expected in your area is -15°F (zone 5) then any plants rated zones 3-5 will
survive the winter temperatures in your area.
If you live in very warm winter areas (zones 9-11) plants with zones 3-4 ratings are not recommended. The lack
of freezing winter temperatures do not provide a time for winter dormancy (rest).
Our Tropicalismo Shade Bulb Collection will add layers of lush foliage to your gardens or containers for a modern, dramatic landscape. Our bulb collections will easily give you beautiful, harmonious results in garden beds container plantings. We plan, you plant: each collection is curated by our gardening experts, featuring groupings with complementary colors, heights, and bloom times. Elephant Ears are hardy in zones 8-10, and Caladiums are hardy in zones 9-10. In cooler zones, these bulbs can be dug after frost comes, stored over winter, then re-planted the following spring; if planted in containers, store bulbs in a frost-free zone over the winter.
Our Tropicalismo Shade Bulb Collection covers approximately 35 sq ft when planted together, and includes 8 bulbs:
