Wow .. I never would have considered abutilon in a flower arrangement. It's hard to see in the picture which ones you are talking about.

I grow abutilon .. they are pretty care free .. just keep them moist. I found they can tolerate full sun for a few hours but seem to do best in dappled shade. I've never grown one in the ground. I have mine in a 1 gallon pot and they thrived being really root bound. I'm going to root prune the ones in the 1 gallon pot and give them more room this year. They root from cuttings readily. the Abutilon and Abutilon pictum flowers can be wide open or bell shaped and have 1 seedpod per stem. The Abutilon megapotamicum which is a trailing abutilon seems to flower more vigorously in shade than in full sun and has multiple seed pods per stem .. that might give you a clue to what you have.
