Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Smallish, deep red-orange, flowers clasped by a black calyx hang from black stems over a long blooming season. This was Parker??s favorite abutilon and it is very nice! Plant in a protected spot and out of afternoon blasty sun. Provide summer water and nutrients along with mulch or over head protection where temperatures drop to 18 to 20F, upper USDA zone 8.
