Thanks David! I also used to grow coleus, that also gave me hope that I can grow the caladiums I won during our raffle here. And the caladiums did thrive very well outdoors this summer to my delight and still going!
But I found it harder to save coleus, they easily root, but I am bad with younger plants, I kill them easily. Caladiums may survive better since they are tubers and I think like the bulbs, I can overwinter them safely.
I keep reading Caladiums are hardy to zone 9, and my area is 9B so I am still observing what it will really do and wait it out. I have them in containers, so I do not know if that hardiness works only if planted in ground.
