Very free-blooming and easy to care for, it asks for only a sunny window and a periodic feed. Abutilon Hybridum is superb for the garden, too. Low enough to edge a pathway or dazzle in the front of the border, it's a nice accent plant for the patio as well and so easy to grow from flower seeds. Tolerant of partial shade where summers are long and hot, it grows quickly and lushly from Abutilon seeds. You will love this garden standout grown from flower seeds!
Abutilon care includes providing nutrients every other week if grown in a container or every month if grown in the garden. Use a well-balanced liquid fertilizer. Pruning is also important if the plant becomes too tall or gangly. Prune it back to a leaf joint to encourage more branching. If grown outdoors, prune in the early spring.
