Chinese Lantern Collection

Chinese Lantern CollectionAbutilon x hybrida

One of each variety separately labelled. Hardy shrubs which will grow quickly to fill space in your garden. These are improved, compact forms whose foliage is more dense than the old fashioned varieties. The pendulous flowers are similar to those of Hibiscus, in fact, they are from the same family, Malvaceae. While the main flowering season is summer to autumn, if cared for and happy in their position, Abutilon will flower sporadically for most of the year. While they prefer full sun, Abutilon will tolerate part shade in warm climates.
