Xanadu / Philodendron 'Winterbourn'
Botanical Name: Philodendron xanadu
Family: Araceae
Origin: Brazil
Plant Type: Evergreen clumping perennial (shrub-like)
Overview
A lush, shade-loving foliage plant that thrives in Adelaide and South Australian courtyards and under trees. ‘Xanadu’ forms tidy mounds of deeply lobed, glossy leaves that look tropical yet cope well with dry shade once established. Perfect for softening hard edges, filling difficult, low-light spots and bringing year-round green structure with minimal fuss.
Key Features
- Mature Size: 0.8–1.2 m H × 1.0–1.8 m W (clumping, naturally compact)
- Growth Rate: 15-30 cm per year under good conditions
- Foliage: Glossy deep-green, deeply lobed leaves; new growth brighter lime-green; in cool snaps or strong sun can show soft bronze/olive tints
-
Flowers: Rare greenish-white spathe/spadix in warm, humid conditions; not showy, not fragrant
- Seasonal Interest: Evergreen architectural foliage all year; fresh flushes of new leaves spring–autumn keep the clump looking full and polished
- Wildlife Value: Primarily a foliage plant; not significant for pollinators
- Tolerance: Heat-Tolerant (in shade); Wind-Tolerant in sheltered sites; Clay-Tolerant if soil is improved and well-drained. Light frost sensitive (protect on cold Adelaide hills nights). Not salt-spray hardy and not drought-hardy—prefers occasional deep soaks
- Planting Density: Mass plant: 2–3 per m² (40–60 cm apart). Edges/drifts: 1 per 0.6–1.0 m
- Pet Friendly: Toxic if chewed/ingested (calcium oxalate crystals); keep away from pets and children
Where It Works Best
- Sunlight: Bright shade to part shade (morning sun OK; avoid harsh afternoon sun)
- Soil: Rich, well-drained loam or improved clay with organic matter
- Water Needs: Establishment: 2 deep soaks/week for 8–12 weeks. Established: deep soak every 7–10 days in summer (weekly in heatwaves); monthly in winter if dry
- Maintenance: Remove yellow/tatty leaves; mulch in spring; feed with slow-release, foliage fertiliser in early spring and mid-summer
- Lifespan: 10-20+ years
- Climate Zones: Suited to temperate & Mediterranean SA; best in frost-sheltered Adelaide microclimates and coastal courtyards
- Soil pH: Slightly acidic to neutral (tolerates Neutral–mildly Alkaline if well-drained)
Landscape & Design Ideas
- Shade solution under eaves or open trees—pair with lomandra, aspidistra and clivia
- Tropical-look mass planting along paths and courtyards in Adelaide for year-round texture
- Large feature pots in bright shade to green up patios and entries
Why You Will Love It
‘Xanadu’ gives you instant, tropical foliage with almost no maintenance, exactly what many South Australian gardens need in shaded, dry spots. It stays compact, looks lush all year and elevates paths, patios and under-storey plantings with sculptural leaves that always read “designed.”

Surprisingly fun and informative- a good series!
Format: Paperback
Bought this and the Paris book for an 11 year old girl before a trip to those cities. Although I felt like some of the quiz activities seemed a little too easy for her, the book provided an incredible array of information (current, historical, cultural, cuisine etc) presented in an entertaining way. She seemed to enjoy the book before and during the trip. She likes to read, and enjoyed getting a preview and information about of some of the places and things they would see. Would buy another in the future if they plan to travel to somewhere else covered in the series.

Good book for children, an abundance of information
Format: Paperback
This book is ideally for children who will be traveling to London. It's very packed with information and places to visit, almost to an overwhelming way.
The book starts with a fill-in section for children to fill out who's traveling and how they're getting there. It follows with some information and history of London, including a mention of Hamleys Toy Store (I wished they had put more about Hamley's in there -- it's one of the largest toy stores in the world!). It delves into how you could get around in London-- by Bus, Tube or Taxis.
It continues with the array of tourist attractions that you can visit in London, starting with Buckingham Palace. The list includes the Tower of London, Westminster Abbey, St. Paul's Cathedral, Tower Bridge, the Gherkin, the House of Parliament, and Trafalgar Square. It mentions the numerous theme parks, zoos and aquarium that you could visit. For children that enjoy a real scare, the book mentions the London Gundeon and London Bridge Experience, which could actually be too scary for children (there are actors there with mock-chainsaws that chase you!).
Towers the end, it informs you about the London Eye -- essentially, a large version of a Ferris Wheel. I would say that this should go towards the beginning of the book because it should be one of the first things done to better see where everything lays out in the city. The book mentions shopping spots, including Oxford Street, Bond Street, Knightsbridge, Covent Garden, Carnaby Street, and Piccadilly. I had wished they mentioned the Camden Markets -- where there is great street food and you can bargain for your souvenirs. Camden was an essential part to my shopping list.
The book also mentions the numerous museums and theaters that London have. It's impossible to mention all of them, but it hits the children-focused ones.
The book tries to involve the children in the abundance of information it has. Like I said, it's almost overwhelming, but London itself is quite overwhelming. There's no way to be able to inform anyone of London without this much information, so this book is manageable and great for children. They could have focused a bit more on some items, but then they'd leave out other items. It did a good job trying to level out the fight of quantity vs quality amongst the tourist attractions mentioned.
*** I have received this item at a discounted rate for my honest, detailed review. ***

I bought this as a Christmas present for my 12 year old granddaughter as she will be traveling to London this summer. It seemed perfect in describing places to visit and things to do. She was very excited to look at it.
