Abutilons are well loved for their bell-shaped flowers and reliable performance in both home and garden. Abutilon ‘Star Sprite’ is a megapotamicum type that’s a prolific bloomer of 1” flowers with brilliant orange petals, darker orange veining and a red calyx. Because the growth habit is somewhat trailing with tight internodes, it makes an outstanding hanging basket or standard. ‘Star Sprite’ is another Sage Reynold’s hybrid.
This variety of Chinese lantern is incredibly striking with its dangling, tiger-striped blooms. The plant matures to about 4 feet tall and blooms from summer through fall. Grows best in a bright shade to filtered light area. Great perennial.
(aka: Callianthe megapotamica) Hailing from the hot bed of great garden plants...the semi-tropical/warm temperate region of southern Brazil and surrounding Uruguay and Argentina comes Brazilian bellflower. Abutilon megapotamicum is a fun and easy-to-grow hummingbird magnet for the perennial border. In the garden or in a hanging basket, Abutilon megapotamicum spreads to several feet wide in a single season. In the wild, Abutilon megapotamicum reaches 8' tall, but in temperate climate gardens, it rarely exceeds 6' tall x 10' wide, and less when grown as a container plant. From late summer until frost, the plants are laden with cool 2" hanging, lantern-like flowers composed of red calyces above the yellow petals, ending with its bright red privates dangling beneath...all carefully arranged between the thumb-sized green leaves. How about a hot Brazilian for your garden? Maintenance: The deciduous stems usually resprout in spring, unless winter temperatures drop below 10 degrees F.If so, flowering maples will generally resprout from somewhere below ground to slightly above the soil level. If your plant grows too large, you can cut it back all the way to the ground if you'd like and it will quickly resprout. About the only time, we don't recommend cutting abutilon to the ground is in fall or winter. The ideal time to prune would be just prior to bud break in spring. There will often be very little dieback of stems during mild winters, in which case little to no pruning is necessary come spring. Indeed it will often flower all winter in a sheltered location in winter. Growing Conditions: While A. megapotamicum is quite tolerant of dry soils, it really explodes in evenly moist, rich, compost-enhanced soils. While flowering maple flowers well in spring in shade, the summer flowers are a bit sparse. When grown in full sun, the floral density all summer and fall is quite amazing. Natural Impacts: Bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds are all regular visitors to flowering maple plants. Nomenclature: Abutilon megapotamicum was formerly known as Abutilon vexillarium.
Abutilon megapotamicum is a vigorous shrub, warm-hearted but relatively easy to cultivate in open ground in mild climate, or in pots in cooler climate. Forming a mass of thin arched branches, more or less falling or climbing if it is trellised, it tirelessly produces curious yellow and red two-tone flowers that hang from the end of a long peduncle to the axil of each leaf...

Abutilon vitifolium, commonly known as vine-leaved abutilon or tree mallow, is an ornamental shrub native to Chile. This deciduous plant typically grows to a height of 2-3 meters (6-10 feet) and has a spreading habit. It features large, maple-like leaves with a soft, velvety texture and deep lobes, giving it a distinctive appearance. In late spring to early summer, Abutilon vitifolium produces an abundance of showy, saucer-shaped flowers that range in color from pale lavender to deep purple, often with a darker center. These flowers are highly attractive to pollinators such as bees and butterflies. The shrub prefers a sunny to partially shaded location with well-drained soil and is moderately drought-tolerant once established. It is often used in garden borders, as a specimen plant, or in informal hedges due to its striking foliage and beautiful flowers. Abutilon vitifolium is relatively easy to grow, requiring minimal maintenance, though it benefits from occasional pruning to maintain shape and encourage more prolific blooming. Zones 7-10 Germination Germinating seeds of Abutilon vitifolium, commonly known as vine-leaved abutilon or tree mallow, requires specific conditions to ensure successful growth. Begin by soaking the seeds in warm water for 24 hours to soften their hard seed coats and improve germination rates. After soaking, sow the seeds in a well-draining seed-starting mix, covering them lightly with a thin layer of soil about 1-2 mm deep. Maintain a consistently warm environment with temperatures around 20-25°C (68-77°F) and keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Germination typically occurs within 2-4 weeks under these conditions. Place the seed trays or pots in a bright location, but out of direct sunlight to avoid overheating. Once the seedlings have developed a few sets of true leaves and are large enough to handle, they can be transplanted into individual pots. Gradually acclimate the young plants to outdoor conditions by placing them outside for increasing periods each day. After the last frost has passed, transplant the seedlings into a sunny to partially shaded location with well-drained soil. With proper care, Abutilon vitifolium will establish well and grow into a robust shrub, showcasing its attractive foliage and beautiful flowers.
