graffiti's Abutilon Collection garden

Garden Type: Tropical | Sun: Dappled Sun | Soil: Combination

I adore these gorgeous plants and never thought I could grow them so successfully as I am now. My first 3 years attempts were pathetic. Too much sun, too little moisture. They got aphids and hated me and I didn’t think too much of the abutilons.

Now after many many transplanting sessions, some good insecticidal soap in the early spring and summer, ample water and dappled sunlight….these stunning tropical like shrubs give me flowers all summer long and even into December in our mild cilmates.

I prune 1/3 back in the fall and also fertilize with fish emulsion in spring and summer
