Abutilon megapotamicum is an exotic-looking flowering shrub, supplied as an impressive XL approximately 4–5ft tall established plant in a substantial 5 litre pot. At this excellent size, these are well-developed nursery plants providing immediate height and impact, perfect for instant gardening and creating a mature look without waiting years for a smaller plant to establish.
Sometimes known as the Trailing Abutilon or Flowering Maple, this unusual plant is prized for its distinctive hanging, lantern-like flowers. Bright red outer calyces surround contrasting yellow petals, creating a colourful display that can continue over a remarkably long flowering period in favourable conditions.
Its graceful growth and exotic appearance make it an excellent choice for sunny sheltered borders, courtyards, conservatory-style planting and large patio containers. At approximately 4–5ft tall when supplied, these XL plants make an immediate feature and can be trained or supported where required.

Please note: Abutilon megapotamicum benefits from a warm, sheltered position and protection from severe frost, particularly in colder or exposed areas. Plant height, shape, branching, foliage, flowering and fullness will naturally vary according to the individual plant and time of year. Flowering is seasonal and cannot be guaranteed at the time of dispatch. Plants are carefully selected before leaving our nursery to provide strong, established XL specimens ready to create immediate garden impact.
