Performance / Benefits

Planting this Abutilon adds color and movement to any landscape. In warm zones (9–11), it remains evergreen and blooms vigorously with minimal care, thriving in full sun to partial shade and well‑drained soil. In cooler regions, it can be grown as an annual or overwintered indoors, offering spring-to-fall color. Regular watering and good drainage promote longer bloom and a tidy habit. Use as a bright container centerpiece, a compact border plant, or a charming accent near entry doors to welcome pollinators into your garden.
