Flaming red flowering maple


Abutilon blooming well into December

I first came upon an Abutilon at the Northwest Flower and Garden Show about 8 years ago. It was in a display garden and I spent 10 minutes trying to match up the blooms with the maple-like leaves. Abutilons were not as popular then as they seem to be now. But talk about a great plant. Happy in bright dappled light, Abutilons in my Front Yard bloom from late June until the first real hard frost.
