Philodendron

Upright, trunk-forming variety that offers a tropical look with little maintenance. Huge leaves become more deeply cut and ruffled with age. May freeze to the ground, but will return from the roots. Where hardy, use as a shrub or hedge. In colder areas, treat as an annual for seasonal interest or as a houseplant.
