I had one of these planted in a pot for several years. I did bring it into the house during winter. It only bloomed during fall. I think it is amazing that it lives outside all winter in your area. Lucky you.
ReplyDeleteThat is lovely! Jeannine
ReplyDeleteHi Phillip, The flowering maple was one of my mother's favorite house plants growing up in California. Love Plants Delights nursery.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! I have always had to bring mine inside, but even so they are easy and rewarding plants.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a beautiful photo of a stunning plant! It was so great meeting you and Michael today! A perfect day for a walk in a perfect garden!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is one of my favorite plants!In the ground or in pots, they make it through most winters here. In mild winters, they only stop blooming in December or January and begin again in May. Our humming birds seem to like them,too!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! And now I am ashamed because someone gave me a tiny one, and I didn't really know what it was and did not do my research. I neglected it, and it died. Next time will be different!
ReplyDeleteI love abutilon, but rarely see them. I spotted some at a botanic garden over the weekend and I think I giggled with joy. Good post about a great plant, and very nice photos to boot!
ReplyDeleteI think I shall have to get one of these. Finally after 14 years on the homestead I am starting to landscape!
