Heart to Heart® 'Crème Brulee' Shade Caladium | Proven Winners® New Variety 2026

Elevate your garden design with the graceful charm of Heart to Heart® Crème Brulee. This distinctive caladium stands out with generously sized, heart-shaped leaves brushed in creamy white, each bordered by a soft, pink-bronze margin that subtly blends into the center. Elegant white veining completes the look, lending a refined, painterly quality to every leaf.

Perfect for containers, shaded beds, or mixed landscape compositions, Crème Brulee brings consistent, season-long color from spring through fall. Its unique coloration is not only visually striking but remarkably stable—making it a reliable choice for both planned designs and spontaneous pairings.

Timeless, textural, and effortlessly graceful, Crème Brulee adds a touch of sophistication to any garden palette.

Care: If you live in a northern climate, be careful not to plant too early in spring as temperatures below 60 degrees F will chill and stunt plants. Caladiums like to be moist at all times so avoid allowing them to dry out. Fertilize with Proven Winners Water Soluble Plant Food  at ¼ - ½ strength every week throughout the season.

Houseplant: Caladiums can also be grown as houseplants where they prefer bright light or a sunny window. Keep the temperatures above 65 degrees F for best growth and leaf size, and a pebble tray or frequent misting can help to keep the humidity up around your plants.

According to the ASPCA, caladiums are toxic to animals if consumed.
