Over 100,000 daffodil bulbs have been planted in the City of White Plains since 2014 when White Plains Beautification Foundation started The Daffodil Project. With the expertise of Walter & Chris Ruigrok from A.D.R. Bulbs our public spaces have dazzled with daffodils. A.D.R. offers a wonderful range of choices and excellent quality bulbs at competitive pricing, and supported by excellent customer service. WPBF values its long-standing relationship with A.D.R.

Caladium 'Moonlight' is a luminous foliage plant with large, heart-shaped leaves in a translucent white hue, accented by delicate light green veins. Thriving in partial shade to full shade, it prefers humus-rich, moist, well-drained soil and benefits from regular watering to maintain its striking appearance. This variety is heat- and humidity-tolerant, making it an excellent choice for shaded borders, containers, and indoor settings. In colder climates, tubers should be lifted and stored indoors before winter to ensure a fresh display the following season.

Planting: Wait until soil temperatures reach at least 70°F. Plant tubers 1 to 2 inches deep with the knobby side up.
Location: Prefers partial to full shade, though some newer varieties tolerate morning sun.
Soil: Loose, well-drained, slightly acidic soil (pH 5.5–6.5) enriched with compost or peat moss.
Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy. Avoid letting it dry out completely.
Humidity: Thrives in high humidity. Mist occasionally or group with other plants to boost moisture.
Temperature: Grows best between 70–85°F. Not frost-tolerant—plant after the last frost and lift tubers before the first.
Fertilization: Feed every 4–6 weeks with a balanced, diluted fertilizer during the growing season.
Pruning: Remove yellowing leaves and spent foliage to maintain appearance.
Pest & Disease: Watch for fungal issues, mealybugs, and aphids. Ensure good air circulation and avoid overhead watering.
