Welcome to The Australian Plant Shop! We are excited to offer our customers Philodendron Black Cardinal, a hybrid, low-growing, clumping tender perennial shrub. This philodendron is "self heading", meaning it does not climb or sprawl like a vine.
The leaves of Philodendron Black Cardinal are broadly oval or truly lance-shaped, emerging light orange or bronze. They slowly mature to a deeper, truly dark green with inclination to nearly black, and oldest leaves on the lowest part of the plant darkest and dullest. Flowers can arise during the warm months at anytime, being a blackish-red, cloak-like wrapping spathe around a white, finger-like spadix.
This fast-growing plant is perfect for those who want to add a touch of luxury to their outdoor space. With its glossy bronze and blackish green leaves with lush foliage, Philodendron Black Cardinal is sure to make a statement in any garden.
