Caladium ‘Miss Muffet’ (Angel Wings)

Sun tolerant, Caladium ‘Miss Muffet’ (Angel Wings) is a tuberous perennial with lush, heart-shaped, chartreuse leaves adorned with dark pink freckles. The equally dark pink veins may bleed into the lime green background, adding further color contrast. Inconspicuous, calla-type flowers appear in summer, but they are usually hidden by the leaves. This eye-catching swarf Caladium is terrific to add color and drama to shady borders, containers or hanging baskets. It also makes an excellent houseplant.
