Philodendron 'Gold Bullion'

                     Philodendron 'Gold Bullion'

I have been growing this for about a year now in a pot on the deck in a semi shaded position and noticed this week that some of the leaves are changing colour in response to cooler weather. The leaf veins are developing a delightful pink tinge.

This Philodendron is related to 'Xanadu' and is just as hardy as long as it is given some protection from frost. In a garden situation 'Gold Bullion' could be mass planted under trees as it is able to cope with dry shade and the leaf colour would certainly add brightness and vigour to the garden picture.

It is equally at home as an indoor or balcony plant and its low water requirements means means it can be left unattended for a period of time without looking back.

There does not seem to be any insect or disease problems associated with it either. Ten out of ten.
