“There were so many caladiums for both sun and shade at the top of our list this year, it was hard to choose the best one! The Crystal Moon is a shade variety that lights up any wooded space. This plant was also a gardener’s favorite and was selected by our entire staff as a top plant this year!”
Penn State Top Performer Penn State has awarded Crystal Moon as a Top Performer in their 2022 Flower Trials.

White Diamond Caladiums

White Diamond 2

White Diamond is a short to intermediate white lance-leaf (strap) variety. White Diamond displays a nice full mounding habit with or without de-eyeing in 6” and larger pots. De-eyed plants are more compact with more and smaller leaves. White Diamond is very similar to Jackie Suthers but without Jackie’s tendency to blush. White Diamond finishes approximately one week faster than Jackie and is among the fastest caladium varieties. In the landscape White Diamond prefers partial shade to shade. This caladium variety was developed by Dr. Robert Hartman, CEO of Classic Caladiums.
You will find White Diamond caladiums in both our pre-finished and finished caladium programs.
