Planting late in Spring

Question

I received several caladium bulbs. It is already mid-June. If I plant them, will they be damaged if it becomes cool in Oct. And if I do not plant now, will they be alright to use next year in spring? I live in south Florida (below Tampa) and would REALLY like to put them in the ground.

Answer 1

Yes, you can plant out your Caladiums, since in your growing zone the bulbs can stay in the ground year round.
