Reiman Gardens switched to A.D.R. Bulbs 12 years ago and has never looked back. The bulbs are high quality and the customer service is exceptional. Chris and Philipp are always willing to answer my many questions! We take pride in supporting one of the last remaining bulb farms that grows and exports.

Caladium 'Royal Flush' is a striking variety with deep red leaves bordered by rich green edges. This sun-tolerant caladium thrives in both full sun and shade, making it a versatile choice for gardens and containers. It was awarded "Favorite Sun Caladium" at the 2013 Ohio State University Trials. Preferring well-drained, organic-rich soil, it benefits from regular watering to maintain its vibrant foliage. In colder climates, tubers should be lifted and stored indoors before winter to ensure a fresh display the following season.

Planting: Wait until soil temperatures reach at least 70°F. Plant tubers 1 to 2 inches deep with the knobby side up.
Location: Prefers partial to full shade, though some newer varieties tolerate morning sun.
Soil: Loose, well-drained, slightly acidic soil (pH 5.5–6.5) enriched with compost or peat moss.
Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy. Avoid letting it dry out completely.
Humidity: Thrives in high humidity. Mist occasionally or group with other plants to boost moisture.
Temperature: Grows best between 70–85°F. Not frost-tolerant—plant after the last frost and lift tubers before the first.
Fertilization: Feed every 4–6 weeks with a balanced, diluted fertilizer during the growing season.
Pruning: Remove yellowing leaves and spent foliage to maintain appearance.
Pest & Disease: Watch for fungal issues, mealybugs, and aphids. Ensure good air circulation and avoid overhead watering.
Overwintering: In colder zones, lift tubers in fall, dry them, and store in a cool, dry place until spring.
