The Garden Bug: Abutilon

By Brenda Weaver

These broadleaf evergreen shrubs can be grown outdoors year-round in warmer climates, growing as high as 10 feet. Abutilon plants like full sun to partial shade and rich soil. They bear large flowers that can be red, salmon, pink, yellow, orange, white or bicolored.

Northern gardeners may wish to keep abutilon in containers outdoors during summer, then bring them indoors before the first frost. When keeping them indoors, keep the light exposure and watering levels moderate. You can battle any pests seen on your abutilon by spraying neem oil on main trunks and stems.
