Split Leaf Philodendron
Size: 3' - 5' tall and wide
Lighting requirements: Part sun to shade
Philodendrons make a bold statement in our landscapes here. They can be real show stoppers in a shade garden, where other plants may simply hold space. It's said to be root hardy below 25 degrees. I have about 5 of them, and they all came back after the February 2021 freeze (they were covered with plastic and sheets, though).
They also don't seem to be the water hogs that some may claim. I have quite a few natives that wilt before these guys even think about it.
