This Caladium and Hibiscus garden is great for several reasons, the number one being that this Caladium is sun loving and can thrive in areas that used to burn out a Caladium’s big, bright leaves. Additionally, this combination is the perfect thing for soggy corner areas that seem to promote mold and rot in other plants.
Recipe For This Container Garden:
- 1 Yellow Hibiscus Tree
- 3 Red Flash Caladium
- 3 Rainbow Confetti Lantana
Where To Plant:
- Plant this container in a bright location in full sun or partial shade.
- Arrange this grouping in a corner, an area with poor drainage, or moisture issues, since these plants love wet feet and can tolerate humid and moist conditions.
- Use these plants in a container in your favorite water feature; Caladium and Hibiscus love ponds and boggy areas.
Easy Care:
- Hibiscus, Lantana and Caladium are all incredibly low maintenance plants. They need regular watering, and seasonal fertilizer (or a decent potting soil), in order to thrive.
- Pinch off the spent flowers from the Hibiscus on a weekly basis to keep the tropical blooms coming all summer.
- Bring the Hibiscus and the Caladium indoors in the winter if you have cold weather.
