Philodendron Xanadu
Philodendron Xanadu is a compact, architectural ground cover and understorey plant producing deeply lobed, glossy green leaves in a dense, spreading clump. Excellent beneath canopy trees, in shaded courtyards, and as a bold, low-maintenance garden bed plant.
Specifier notes. Used as a low ground-cover layer where coverage rate and root mass take priority over height. Selected on architectural projects for its strong line and disciplined form. Sits well in understorey planting beneath mature canopy where light is partial.
Site & establishment. Tolerates shade — useful in eastern aspects, courtyards, and sites overhung by larger canopy. Bold foliage carries the visual role on its own — pairs well with restrained planting around it.
Cape Nursery production. All Cape Nursery stock is grown 7 km from the Pacific Ocean, hardened to coastal sun and wind from propagation rather than acclimatised at point of sale. Specimens leave us biosecurity-traceable, and root-checked. National delivery is available; collection from Ewingsdale is welcomed Mon–Thu 7:30am–4pm.
