Flowering Maple-Chinese Lantern
Abutilon hybridum
The flowers of this plant resemble a cross between a Hibiscus and a Hollyhock. Abutilon come in many colors including white, red, yellow, and shades of peach. The leaves are a pale green, but also come in a variegated form.
They perform best in partial sun, as high heat may force them out of bloom. Fertilize them monthly with 20-20-20 all purpose plant food. Keep soil evenly moist.
These upright growers make great container plants with their abundant blooms and unusual texture!
