Caladium 'Wildfire' is a striking fancy-leaf caladium known for its large, heart-shaped leaves with a dramatic color pattern. Brilliant red to scarlet center that covers most of the leaf and narrow green margins that create a striking frame around the red. Excellent for containers, borders, and mass plantings in shaded areas. The cultivar is part of the newer generation of caladiums with improved sun tolerance.
