Abutilon Bush
Abutilon Bush (Abutilon spp.) is a flowering shrub valued for its delicate, bell-shaped blooms that appear in shades of red, orange, yellow, or pink. With soft, maple-like leaves and a graceful form, it adds color and texture to garden beds, borders, or containers throughout much of the year in Northeast Florida. Attracts bees and butterflies.
Care Needs:
• Light: Full sun to partial shade
