Description
Botanical designation: Caladium X hortulanum.
Cultivar denomination: ‘HEART AND SOUL’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Caladium plant, botanically known as Caladium X hortulanum, commercially referred to as a lance leaf-type Caladium and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Heart and Soul’.
The objective of the Inventor's breeding program is to create new Caladium plants that have uniform plant habit, exceptional container and garden performance and attractive and unique leaf coloration.
The new Caladium plant originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor in April, 2010 in Avon Park, Fla. of Caladium X hortulanum ‘White Wonder’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 21,044, as the female, or seed, parent with Caladium X hortulanum ‘Gingerland’, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Caladium plant was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single plant within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination in a controlled outdoor nursery environment in Zolfo Springs, Fla. in September, 2011.
Asexual reproduction of the new Caladium plant by “chipping” the tubers (cutting the tuber into segments with each segment containing an axillary bud and tuber cortical tissue) in a controlled outdoor nursery environment in Zolfo Springs, Fla. since April, 2012 has shown that the unique features of this new Caladium plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations of asexual reproduction.
Plants of the new Caladium have not been observed under all possible combinations of environmental conditions and cultural practices. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environmental conditions such as temperature and light intensity, without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Heart and Soul’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Heart and Soul’ as a new and distinct Caladium plant:
-
- 1. Short to intermediate in height and upright and mounding plant habit; dense and bushy appearance.
- 2. Vigorous growth habit and rapid growth rate.
- 3. Lance-type leaves that are dark green in color with greyed purple-colored venation, white, green, red and greyed purple-colored interveinal areas, and dark red-colored random spots; undulate margins give a ruffled appearance to the leaves.
- 4. Petioles that are light greyed red to light greyed orange in color with greenish brown-colored stipples and streaks.
Plants of the new Caladium differ primarily from plants of the female parent, ‘White Wonder’, in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Leaves of plants of the new Caladium have undulate margins and are folded upright along the midvein whereas leaves of plants of ‘White Wonder’ are flatter with broader undulations.
- 2. Plants of the new Caladium and ‘White Wonder’ differ in leaf color as leaves of the new Caladium are dark green in color with greyed purple-colored venation, white, green, red and greyed purple-colored interveinal areas, and dark red-colored random spots whereas leaves of ‘White Wonder’ are white to grey-green in color with light pink to white-colored venation and dark green-colored borders.
- 3. Plants of the new Caladium and ‘White Wonder’ differ in leaf petiole color as petioles of the new Caladium are light greyed red to light greyed orange in color with greenish brown-colored stipples and streaks whereas petioles of ‘White Wonder’ are tan green in color with darker colored stripes.
Plants of the new Caladium differ primarily from plants of the male parent, ‘Gingerland’, in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Caladium are shorter, denser and bushier than plants of ‘Gingerland’.
- 2. Plants of the new Caladium grow more rapidly than plants of ‘Gingerland’.
- 3. Plants of the new Caladium and ‘Gingerland’ differ in leaf color as leaves of the new Caladium are dark green in color with greyed purple-colored venation, white, green, red and greyed purple-colored interveinal areas, and dark red-colored random spots whereas leaves of ‘Gingerland’ have white-colored interveinal areas, white and pink-colored venation, dark red-colored spots and dark green-colored borders.
Plants of the new Caladium can be compared to plants of Caladium X hortulanum ‘Day Dreamer’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 29,563. In side-by-side comparisons, plants of the new Caladium differ primarily from plants of ‘Day Dreamer’ in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Caladium are short to intermediate in height whereas plants of ‘Day Dreamer’ are short in height.
- 2. Leaves of plants of the new Caladium have undulate margins and are folded upright along the midvein whereas leaves of plants of ‘Day Dreamer’ are less wavy with broader undulations.
- 3. Plants of the new Caladium and ‘Day Dreamer’ differ in leaf color as leaves of the new Caladium are dark green in color with greyed purple-colored venation, white, green, red and greyed purple-colored interveinal areas, and dark red-colored random spots whereas leaves of ‘Day Dreamer’ are medium green in color with greenish white-colored venation surrounded with white areas and interveinal areas that are white variably tinged with purplish pink in color with random dark red-colored flecks and spots.
Plants of the new Caladium can be compared to plants of Caladium X hortulanum ‘Miss Muffet’, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons, plants of the new Caladium differ primarily from plants of ‘Miss Muffet’ in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Caladium are taller, denser and bushier than plants of ‘Miss Muffet’.
- 2. Plants of the new Caladium and ‘Miss Muffet’ differ in leaf color as leaves of the new Caladium are dark green in color with greyed purple-colored venation, white, green, red and greyed purple-colored interveinal areas, and dark red-colored random spots whereas leaves of ‘Miss Muffet’ are pale green tinged with pink in color with a deep reddish pink-colored blush in the center.
The accompanying photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Caladium plant showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type. Colors in the photographs may differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which accurately describe the colors of the new Caladium plant.

The aforementioned photographs and following observations and measurements describe plants grown in 15-cm containers in a polypropylene-covered shadehouse (50% light reduction) in Avon Park, Fla. and plants grown in ground beds under full sunlight conditions in an outdoor nursery in Crewsville, Fla. The plants were grown under cultural practices typical of commercial shadehouse and outdoor nursery production. During the production of the shadehouse-grown plants, day temperatures ranged from about 28° C. to 33° C., night temperatures ranged from about 22° C. to 25° C. and light levels were about 8,000 foot-candles. During the production of the outdoor nursery-grown plants, day temperatures ranged from about 29° C. to 35° C., night temperatures ranged from about 23° C. to 26° C. and light levels ranged from 10,000 to 12,000 foot-candles. Plants grown in the shadehouse were six to seven weeks old and plants grown in the outdoor nursery were 8.5 months old when the photographs and the detailed description were taken.
