Clowning Around is a Fancy leaf Caladium, that grows well in part shade to shade conditions. This variety has clear bright rose pink veins cream orange areas surrounding and between veins with olive green often raised areas on the edge giving the plant an interesting textured appearance similar to one of its parents Twist and Shout®. This is a new color pattern and combination for caladiums! Caladiums are also generally considered to be houseplants where they prefer bright light or a sunny window. If you live in a northern climate, be careful not to plant too early in spring as temperatures below 60 degrees F will chill and stunt plants. Caladiums like to be moist at all times so avoid allowing them to dry out. Fertilize at ¼ - ½ strength every week throughout the season.
