Plant description:
Strikingly bold, lush foliage makes this an ideal plant where tropical effects are sought. Not unlike the delicious monster (Monsteria deliciosa) in looks, philodendron has glossy, deeply divided, dark green leaves, segments of which are narrow and toothed. The broad leaves, on long, slender stems, are extremely elegant. A wonderful allround shrub, it can be used as a solitary specimen, in a spacious container, in lobbies, on patios or in the garden, in sun or shade. What is more, it tolerates frost to -3°C. P. ‘Xanadu’, a dense, compact shrub that reaches 600mm when fully grown, is excellent for containers on the patio.
