Caladium Scarlet Mary

Caladium ‘Scarlet Mary’ is a bold and vibrant tropical foliage plant, admired for its striking heart-shaped leaves painted in rich scarlet red with contrasting green margins and delicate veining. The intense coloration creates a dramatic, high-contrast display that instantly brightens any space. Its lush, layered foliage and soft, almost translucent texture give it a classic tropical elegance.

This variety thrives in bright, indirect light, which enhances its vivid red tones without scorching the delicate leaves. It prefers warm temperatures, high humidity, and a well-draining soil mix kept consistently moist but not soggy. As a seasonal grower, ‘Scarlet Mary’ may go dormant in cooler months, returning with vibrant new growth in the warmer season.
