We love the selection of bulbs available from A.D.R. The variety is great, the quality is excellent and the price is fair. However, the best part of working with A.D.R is the customer service from Chris, Walter and all of the team. They go out of their way to make sure ours needs are met.

Caladium Fancy Leaf 'Florida Moonlight' (Ships in Spring)
Caladium
Caladium ‘Florida Moonlight’ is a tropical, tuberous perennial known for its luminous white leaves accented by soft green veins for a clean, elegant look. It thrives in partial to full shade, preferring moist, humus‑rich, well‑drained soil to keep its foliage bright through the season. Heat‑ and humidity‑tolerant, it performs beautifully in shaded borders, containers, and indoor displays. In colder climates, lift and store tubers indoors to ensure reliable regrowth the following year.
