Arent the leaves lovely on this one?
variagated abutilon
Yes they are. I had this one for 3 yrs. I think the bloom was peach colored?
Very pretty...mine had alot more varigation on it and yes, the blooms were peach colored...they over winter very nice up here as house plants.
Yes the blooms are peach and very easy to propogate. I just stuck three cuttings in the ground right next to the parent plant and they rooted.
Have you seen Thompsonii? It has nice foliage, but I think the bloom structure is beautiful.
Oh my gosh!!!!!! I gotta have that!!!!!
If you like to check out Abutilons go to my page and check images there is a few there to see.
I love all the abutilons but probably 'Thompsonii' the best. It is a stunner in the garden and people literally stop in their tracks at the sight of it. The foliage is so showy that even when not in bloom it's a gorgeous specimen.
This photo was taken in February 2004 just before it started blooming. There are so few pictures of mature specimens I thought this might be helpful. It was planted from a 1-gallon container not quite two years ago. That's a 6' fence behind it, and a Vibernum tinus next to it.
They tend to sprawl out, so this is heavily staked to keep it from overwhelming the garden path next to it. The last two months have been fairly warm so it's put on another 6" of growth and is covered with blooms. They usually bloom for at least 6-8 months at a time, although my 'Nabob' seems ever-blooming.
I love the first one.I think its souvenier de bon ,I had one last year and to be safe I rooted 2 for the winter incase I killed the mother plant,which I did ,rooted the babies,kept them alive all winter till last month and forgot to water them and killed them too.....
The thomassi I still have but I like the first one better....
there was I site I saw that had even more variegated varieties
I'll see if I can find it
