Abutilon ‘Megapotamicum’

Description

Abutilon ‘Megapotamicum’ or also known as Chinese Lantern’ is an evergreen  tropical style shrub with lush green foliage. From spring until autumn it is covered with masses of hanging flowers with red calyces, yellow petals and burgundy anthers. The flowers attract many bees and nectar loving birds. Abutilon ‘Megapotamicum’ grows well in sun and partial shade in moist but free drained soil. Keep it sheltered from harsh wind. Prune it back at the beginning of spring just before the flowers buds appear to keep it in the right shape and size.
