Abutilon x hybridum, Mixed Colours

Seldom offered as seed, Abutilon x hybridum is a popular group of hybrids that are frost-tender shrubs typically growing 60 to 90cm (24 to 36in) tall. The lantern-like buds open to solitary, pendulous, bell shaped flowers up to 8cm (3in) diameter.

This is an interesting mixture from a range of colours, from bright red through some lovely pinks pastels and whites. It will astound you in the spring and summer months with its enchanting bell flowers which cover the plant from head to toe.
Abutilon is a tender perennial and needs a nice warm spot in a sheltered garden to show its full potential where it will remain evergreen throughout the year. It can also be grown as a patio or conservatory pot plant.
Protect from hard frosts and these plants will flower from March right through until late September - and if you bring them into a cold greenhouse then they will carry on flowering through the winter too!
