Gardening Class: Caladium Crazy

With the arrival of Spring, it’s time to think about caladiums. These plants have a place in every garden and if you’re not growing them, you’re missing out on a Florida classic. Though not native to Florida, 99% of the world’s supply of these gorgeous foliage plants are grown in South Florida and you will learn why. Here in Zone 10, we are the only place in the continental US where caladiums grow year-round. We will teach you the history of caladiums, how they grow and how you can grow them in your Florida garden or up north. There are so many fun ways to use caladiums from gardens to containers to arrangements and we will show you the best varieties for every situation. All participants will receive several caladium tubers.

Advance registration is required at edisonford.org and limited to 25 participants. The class will be held at the Garden Council building, located across the street from the Edison Ford parking lot (on Larchmont Ave.). At the conclusion of class, each participant will receive a 20% discount coupon for plant purchases in the Garden Shoppe.

Cost: members: $35, non-members $50
