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.

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.

For those who live in a frost free climate, this vine can be grown in the ground. Using it in a container is where it really shines though.  Adularia is ideally suited to being container grown and works well as a house plant, or in a hanging basket. If you have limited space and want to grow some Passion Flowers, try growing Passiflora ‘Adularia’ and Passiflora citrina together for a stunning display.

You should provide this vine with plenty of light and moisture to keep it flowering.  Grow it in a sunny spot outdoors, or in your sunniest window. If you are growing it indoors, it would benefit from temporarily moving outside to a sheltered spot in the warm summer months.

For each item added to 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.

Blushing Belle is extremely generous with its blooms, and will flower non-stop, even in the dreary winter months making it a perfect houseplant. It blooms in our cold greenhouse all winter, and it blooms in our house in January set on a northern windowsill. This plant is cold hardy enough to tolerate a frost. It is also heat and humidity tolerant enough to sit out in the sun on our patio in July. It rarely complains about anything we throw at it making it a truly versatile plant.

Abutilon are a huge group of plants which comes in many shapes, sizes, and colors. While many Abutilon are large lanky, upright plants, this particular selection is not.  It is a beautiful semi-trailing dwarf variety that maintains its compact shape.  It also responds well to pruning allowing you to easily maintain it to a desired size.

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 filtered light.  It is suited for both container culture or planting in the ground.

The post Abutilon ‘Blushing Belle’ first appeared on Snowdrop Farm.

While you may never have heard of this variety, this uncommon, little known gem is worth growing.  Because it likes hot weather and grows vigorously under warm conditions, you should consider it particularly if you live in a hot climate. Nonetheless, people in colder climates can also give this vine a try, as we find that it grows well in containers. In fact, in our greenhouse we have winter blossoms on potted plants.

This vine likes heat, and you should plant it in full sun if possible. Additionally, you should be sure to keep it warm.  It does not appreciate sitting out in cold temperatures. This means that if you are overwintering it in a cold climate you should bring it in before it starts getting too cold.

For each item added to 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.
