Growing Abutilon

A genus in the mallow family, Abutilon plants are capable of producing flowers year-round. These plants are known for producing vibrant flowers with yellow, orange and red hues. While they are often used as conservatory plants, Abutilon can also be grown outdoors if planted in mild climates. If cared for properly, they should have no trouble flourishing through the winter. Abutilon plants are considered to be especially easy to grow as well.
