Nursery contributed plant descriptions

“Flowering Maples” are prized by CA gardeners and ‘Victor Reiter’ is a heavily blooming Bay Area favorite! And what a lovely color to add to your garden! Extra-large, outward facing, soft tangerine blossoms to 2.5-3” across contrast handsomely against deep green leaves. To a sturdy, multi-branching 6’ x 4’, tip pruning keeps Abutilons nice and bushy. Loamy soil with once or twice a year side-dressing of compost keeps ’em perfect! Irresistible to hummers!
