Planting and Growing Information
Plant Caladium 'Allure' tubers after all danger of frost has passed when soil temperatures reach at least 65°F. Position in partial to full shade in well-draining, organically rich soil with consistent moisture. In USDA zones 9-11, these caladiums can remain in the ground year-round. In cooler zones (3-8), lift tubers before first frost, store in a cool, dry place, and replant the following spring for continuous seasonal displays.
