A dwarf version of the popular Candidum, Caladium 'Candidum Junior' (Angel Wings) is a tuberous perennial with cute and tidy, heart-shaped, white leaves adorned with striking dark green veins. Inconspicuous, calla-type flowers appear in summer, but they are usually hidden by the leaves. Unlike most Caladiums, Candidum Junior does not stand upright, making it perfect for groundcover planting under trees and shrubs.
