Abutilons as a group are interesting in that flower color can sometimes significantly intensify or change in cooler weather. Pumpkin Spice is certainly a good example of that trait! If kept in cool temperatures over the winter the flower color becomes more intense and deepens more towards a pinkish-orange. The photos of the whole plant were taken during warmer weather.  The two photos that are close ups of the flowers were taken during the winter when temperatures were maintained about 50 degrees. We happen to love both versions of this plant.

Abutilon is an evergreen perennial in warm climates, and can be easily grown as an outdoor annual or a houseplant in colder climates. 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.

Panda is similar to Passiflora ‘Clear Sky’ and Passiflora ‘Betty Myles Young’ in size and performance and would complement them nicely.  If you like either of those two varieties or the Common Blue Passion Flower, Passiflora caerulea, you should love Panda. Similar to its parents, Panda will tolerate a frost, but it is not particularly cold hardy.  It would be best to protect it from freezing temperatures, and it will likely thank you with year round blossoms.

Maximize your blooms by planting this vine in full sun. However it will also tolerate some shade at the expense of fewer blooms.

For each item added to your cart, you will receive 1 starter plant in a 2.5” pot. A photo example of the starter plants we ship can be found on our Ordering and Shipping FAQ page. The plants are well rooted and are ready to be potted into a larger container.

For those interested, Passiflora ‘Panda’ is Passiflora ‘Monika Fischer’ x Passiflora ‘White Wedding’ created by Roland Fischer.

Miri is an easy to grow fairly free flowering cultivar.  The vigorous vine boasts deeply lobed, attractive, medium green leaves. Additionally it is quite cold tolerant.  As this variety is quite new to us, we have not verified this. However, it is purported to be capable of surviving temperatures down to 20 degrees or below.  We would not recommend exposing it to temperatures that cold for an extended period of time.

In most places you should plant it in full sun. However, in very hot climates give it some afternoon shade.

For each item added to your cart, you will receive 1 starter plant in a 2.5” pot. A photo example of the starter plants we ship can be found on our Ordering and Shipping FAQ page. The plants are well rooted and are ready to be potted into a larger container.

For those interested Passiflora ‘Miri’ is Shawn Mattison’s hybrid, but parentage is unstated.

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.

This particular variety is very upright and not quite as dwarf as some of the other varieties we grow. It grows 2-4′ tall and would make an exceptional centerpiece in a mixed container. As with other Abutilons, it responds well to pruning and can be maintained to a smaller size quite easily.

Star Sprite is easy to care for, ever blooming and quite cold tolerant. It is a dwarf plant that will stay small and maintain a nice tight compact form without a lot of pruning. It can be grown as a hanging basket or standard form, and could make an excellent addition to mixed containers.

Aside from its flower color, one of the things we love about Red Glory is that its flowers are held more upright than many Abutilons. Many Abutilons hold their flowers facing downwards . Not so with Red Glory! The large 2.5” blooms are held in outward facing clusters making for a really exceptionally show.
