.I have about a dozen or so 'Xanadu' philos throughout the garden, all in similar locations grown under identical conditions,all purchased from at least 6 different sources and ALL labeled as 'Xanadu'...& all are at least 3yrs in the garden,..so why is it that I appear to have 2 different growing' Xanadu's'?One is smaller in height..approx 12-18" with less incised slightly lighter coloured foliage,but appears to be more densely foliaged.The other grows to approx 3ft...foliage is more incised and appears to be slightly darker,more sparse and in my opinion is the better looker of the 2..So someone please enlighten me as to what is going on here...They are clearly not the 'same' Xanadu.
