A; new, absolutely breathtaking Philodendron hybrid of Philodendron gloriosum and an unnamed Philodendron 'McColley's Finale' hybrid. Philodendron 'Summer Glory'; is a climber with absolutely stunning leaf colouration: young leaves emerge in copper-pink and as they mature, they turn to very dark, almost black green. Leaf blades are slightly less round than those of P.gloriosum, but they have a wonderful sheen to them , similar to that of Philodendron 'Dean McDowell'. Not the fastest grower, but it is a low-maintenance plant and a heavy feeder.
;
From the Modern Latin genus name Philodendron (Schott, 1830), form Greek philodendron, neuter of philodendrons "loving trees," form philo- "loving" (see philo-) + dendron "tree" (form PIE *der-drew-, form root *deru- "to be firm, solid, steadfast," also forming words for "wood, tree"). The plant so called because it clings to trees.
