I have an abutilon that is very leggy. Can I cut it WAY back to bush it up? How far back?
Thanks.

Yes, by all means, feel free to prune it.

If you cut it back to a node it'll branch out and help create a more bushy plant.

Any idea which kind you have? (Variety/cultivar?)

Shoe (also adding the cuttings are easily rooted if you want more plants)
