Description
If you aren’t a fan of really vibrant colors and are looking for something more pastel, Wedding Day has you covered! This Abutilon is a delightful light pink and white petaled flower. The flowers are composed of delicate looking white petals blushed pink at the edges. Wedding Day is free flowering and easy to care for. It blooms year round for us, is cold tolerant, and produces large 2-2.5″ blooms.
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.
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.
