Rio Red looks like a slice of watermelon at the family picnic, including the seeds! This Classic strap variety is a deep red and makes beautiful “crimson rivers” in any landscape. A wonderful caladium for pots 6” and up including baskets and combination patio planters. De-eyeing improves habit in smaller pots. Rio Red tolerates 6-8 hours of morning sun. Rio Red has dark stems. This new introduction for the 2015 season was created by Classic’s President, Dr. Robert Hartman.
