Bring a striking splash of color indoors with the Caladium ‘Florida Red Ruffles’ — a hybrid cultivar prized for its vivid, ruffled foliage that shifts between deep crimson, rose pink, and for

est green. Each heart-shaped leaf features dramatic wavy edges and intricate veining, making this caladium a true showpiece for tabletops, shelves, and statement corners.

It adapts well to a range of light conditions — from bright shade to filtered sun — and holds its color beautifully indoors, making it a favorite among houseplant collectors and gift-buyers alike.
