A.D.R. is, by far, my favorite bulb company. Top quality products at a fair price and the best customer service out there.
Chris, I speak nothing but the truth. A.D.R. IS my favorite bulb company and I've never ever had even the smallest problem that A.D.R. hasn't taken care of to my complete satisfaction.

Caladium 'Gingerland' is a dwarf, strap-leaved variety with large, lance-shaped creamy-white leaves adorned with cranberry freckles and dark green margins. Thriving in partial shade to full shade, it prefers humus-rich, moist, well-drained soil and benefits from regular watering to maintain its vibrant foliage. This compact variety is ideal for shaded borders, containers, and indoor settings, adding a lively touch to any space. In colder climates, tubers should be lifted and stored indoors before winter to ensure a fresh display the following season.
