I could use some suggestions on what to put in this big pot. I was looking for something with some height to it to use in the center and this little Abutilon 'Savitzii' caught my eye at the nursery. The tag says it grows slower than other Abutilon, so I don't really know what to expect with it. Is it going to grow too slow to really fill out this container this season? I was going to add some pink/purple Torenia for color, and maybe a darker leaved Heuchera, but I wanted something light and bright in there too. And preferably, tallish. Do you think the Abutilon would work, or should I consider something else...I'm open to suggestions. I just really want to get this container planted!

I'm in coastal Maine, and the container is in dappled shade all day until about 2:30- 3:00, when it does get direct sun for the rest of the day.
