Abutilon ‘Victorian Lady’

snowdrop — Mon, 25 Nov 2024 17:01:39 +0000

Victorian Lady is somewhat unique to the world of Abutilons in that it has pink double flowers. Most Abutilons do not possess double flowers. The light pink ruffled, double flowers would make a beautiful addition to any garden. Victorian Lady is free flowering and will grace your garden with pretty 2″ blooms from spring to frost. It will continue to bloom if brought indoors before the weather gets cold.

Unlike many of the Abutilons we grow, Victorian Lady is NOT a dwarf variety. It is capable of getting 6′ or more tall and 4′ wide. However, like most Abutilons it responds well to pruning and can be kept to a smaller size quite easily. As a vigorous growing, upright bushy plant, Victorian Lady can get tall and lanky if left to its own devices, and it benefits greatly from regular pruning to keep it shaped and manageable.

Abutilon is an evergreen perennial in warm climates, and can be easily grown as an outdoor annual or a houseplant in colder climates. This particular Abutilon is very heat tolerant, and it can also survive temperatures down into the 20’s, but it is best to keep it above freezing. It isn’t picky about its environment as long as it receives plenty of water and bright light. It is suited for both container culture or planting in the ground, and will happily bloom on your windowsill or outside on your patio. Abutilons respond well to pruning. Flower buds are produced on new growth, so they can be easily be shaped and maintained to size with regular trimming

Because of its leaf and flower shape, Abutilon is known by many different names, they include flowering maple, parlor maple, Indian mallow, Chinese bellflower, and Chinese Lantern.

You will receive 1 Abutilon starter plant in 2.5″ pot for each item added to the cart. An example of starter plants is included in the photos. The plants are well rooted and are ready to be potted into a larger container.
