I have EE planted in the full sun here in sunny California. Caladium needs shade to partial sun. Al

E.E. and caladium both do best in partial shade to shade, *moist* soil. They may fry in the sun, especially if not kept constantly moist. If you don't mind constantly running for the hose they may be okay, but, really, partial shade is best.

This may be a bit late, but like Al, I have most of my EE's planted in either full sun or near full sun. Even with 100-107 temps daily, they still look super, with very little burning. The EE's that I have planted in my shade garden have never really done all that much and I've had 'em planted there for about 4 years.

Give them sun and plenty of daily water during the hottest days and I think that you'll find that they appreciate it.
