Abutilon (flowering maple) is an exotic hibiscus relative that has been grown for ages as a houseplant and as a garden border plant. Mostly grown as an annual, Abutilon is a low growing woody subshrub that acts as an herbaceous perennial in colder climates.
The summer and fall-flowering abutilon delights gardeners and hummingbirds with its pendant bell-shaped flowers available in an array of rich colors including yellow, orange, pink, red and even bicolor flowers. Abutilon looks great planted in mass or weaving throughout a mixed border. Flowering maple is also great in a container or hanging basket where its downward facing flowers can be viewed face to face. The key to success with abutilon is good winter drainage. Plant them high and dry (in the winter) and they will delight you for years in your garden.
