Grown mostly for its foliage, the Split Leaf Philodendron is a tropical shrub with large, dark green, deeply lobed leaves. Considered as an evergreen, it thrives best outdoors in Zones 10-11, but can be grown anywhere in moveable containers to capture bright light, slightly humid conditions and no cold drafts. Does best in partial to full shade and can grow 8-12’ tall with a comparable width. Best to water at root level only to prevent leaf rotting. Philodendrons are considered deer resistant and are bothered by very few bugs. These plants are considered poisonous and should be kept away from curious pets and children. The sap can be irritating to sensitive skin.

Grows to be 9-10" tall with a 16-16" spread. Thrives in sun to partial shade in zones 7-10. A unique option for xeriscaping with no pruning necessary!

This large, upright, often multi-stemmed shrub can be grown as a single trunk specimen with proper pruning. White flowers in flat clusters appear in early summer and are followed by blue-black, berry-like fruit which persists into winter! The fragrant flowers of the Sweet Viburnum are tiny however the shrub itself can grow to be as big as 20 feet tall! Even though the shrub is relatively maintenance free, you will want to shape it and prune it to control the size. Sweet Viburnum are great to use as a tall hedge or screen. Grown here at Creekside Nursery in a 3 and 7 gallon container.
