Angel Wings 'Red Flash', Red Flash Caladium, Fancy-Leafed Caladium
Prized for its oversized vibrant leaves, Caladium ‘Red Flash’ (Angel Wings) is a tuberous perennial with large, heart-shaped, olive green leaves adorned with brilliant red veining and pink freckles. Inconspicuous, calla-type flowers appear in summer, but they are usually hidden by the leaves. Incredibly eye-catching, this fancy-leafed Caladium is more sun tolerant than most Caladiums and ideal to brighten borders and containers. It also makes an excellent houseplant.
