Love these dudes! They bloom beautiful outside in summer, here zone 5, got big and bushy, loaded with flowers.
Now inside, today.
Two Abutilons
Beautiful! The pink you sent me has buds all over it! It's growing outdoors and thriving!
Glad to hear that. My white brug is growing. The hibiscus still sitting in vermiculite, they take forever.
They are sooooo cute blooming that tiny!
Great colors. Big Blooms!!
there is a blue-coloured flower, called...."Suntense" Elaine
Would sure like to see that one.
I'm confused. Are those from cuttings or grown from seeds. I have several varieties that have not bloomed yet. Two of my plants are 3 feet tall. How tall are Abutilon supposed to grow?
I don't know but my orange one is now about 12 feet tall but the other colors are still rather small.
Wow! I would trim some of top out, this should make them bushy.
Wow, just love this one! (Slapping my hand - no, no, don't even think about it - your plate is full!) But am going to think about this one!
Joydie, there is a new variety or at least this last summer was the first time I saw them. They have wide open blooms similar to the orange one in Hibiscus's picture. They are called Flowering maple 'Bella' and are a compact plant that is 14 to 16 inches tall. They are 3 inch wide flared flowers and are heavy blomers. I just love them.
I also have the older varieties with the flowers that are more closed. I have a yellow one that must be 15 years old and the diameter of the trunk is at least 6 inches. It is very tall............ as tall as my old apple tree. I also have a big pink one. I love them for they grow and flower in much shade.

Oh my goodness I must have the older varieties. My plants definately look like trees. The larger ones are in 2 gallon pots and I think I'll just leave them like that. Mine appear to be putting out branches from the main stem. How long did your's take to bloom Kell? I guess I better do a little more research on mine...where to put all of these lil suckers until I see what colors they all turn out?
