Notes
'Burgundy' philodendron (Philodendron erubescens 'Burgundy') is a climbing vine for containers. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 10 and warmer, down to about 30°F (-1°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes part sun and average to moist, loamy soil. It blooms in early to late spring and again in early to late summer. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. A pole or trellis gives its stems something to climb.
Pairs well with Pearls and Jade pothos, African mask, and String of turtles.
