I'd love to get hold of some tubers but I can't find ANY for sale in the United Kingdom?

Do you store the bulbs in dry soil or do you wash the soil off of the bulbs for dry storage over the winter. I am in Pennsylvania zone 5-6.

Caladiums are a popular plant here in the South. In this video, Brent shows us the wide range of cultivars that are available, from those developed in Thailand to those developed right here at the University of Florida by UF/IFAS researchers.

I'm a Huge fan of caladiums, I'm from the Caribbean so caladiums are perenials down here. We have alot of the varieties u mention there but I don't think Thai Varieties have been imported as yet, i can't wait till they do....Oh White Christmas is the name of that first white one you mentioned.
