Mint Julep Caladium (2 Bulbs) PREORDER Ships Spring 2026

This is a PREORDER, ships Spring 2026.

Cool, refined, and quietly bold — the Mint Julep Caladium is a tropical treasure made for shady spaces and soft garden palettes. With large, heart-shaped leaves that shimmer in tones of light green and pink, this fancy-leaved variety stirs the senses with its painterly variegation. 

Each leaf features a rosy-pink center and veins, outlined in a broad minty-green margin, creating a soft yet striking display that holds its beauty from summer through fall. The plant's compact, clumping habit makes it ideal for borders, underplantings, shade containers, or even indoor pots, where its elegant form adds texture and light.

Unlike many caladiums, Mint Julep is more heat tolerant, thriving gracefully in warm, humid climates. This tender perennial is perfect for gardeners who crave color and structure in shade-loving spaces — and its ease of care makes it a favorite among beginners and collectors alike.
