Abutilon megapotamicum
Abutilon megapotamicum
Family: Malvaceae
Cultivation
Abutilon megapotamicum is a plant of the warm temperate to subtropical zone of southern Brazil. It only succeeds outdoors in the warmer parts of the temperate zone, though it can tolerate temperatures down to between -5 to -10°c when given the protection of a sunny, sheltered wall. A deep mulch in winter and tying in growth to the wall will maximise protection in winter.

Abutilon theophrasti
Abutilon theophrasti
Family: Malvaceae
Cultivation
Widely cultivated, mainly in warm temperate areas, the plant succeeds in a wide range of climates from the tropics to the temperate zone. It grows best in areas where annual daytime temperatures are within the range 14 - 25°c, but can tolerate 10 - 30°c. It prefers a mean annual rainfall in the range 650 - 2,000mm, but tolerates 500 - 3,000mm.

Abutilon venosum
Family: Malvaceae
Cultivation
Requires a good, well-drained soil with plenty of moisture in the growing season. Of rapid growth when young, the plant soon becomes tall and without leaves below. Shortening the leading shoots in the growing season will encourage the plant to branch and counteract its tendency to become bare below.

Abutilon x hybridum
Family: Malvaceae
Cultivation
Abutilon x hybridum is is a hybrid plant of garden origin that can be grown outdoors in the milder regions of the temperate zone. It can tolerate occasional temperatures down to between -5 to -10°c, especially when given the protection of a warm, sunny, sheltered wall, and is probably hardier than either of its parents. Plants are often deciduous in cold winters.
