Abutilon megapotamicum

I have an 'Abutilon Kentish Blue' which survived the winter well. But something is eating the leaves. Can someone tell me what it is & what I can do about it, please.

I watched Gardeners World on Friday and there was a section on Abutilon megapotamicumand Kentish Belle. However, Leila Jackson from Wall End Nursery advised that these plants are hardy love any soil, any situation and flower for about 10 months of the year. Is this true?

i have a abutilon and have been told it is an indoor plant but is that true? i don't think it is as i have read all the websites and they all say it can go in the garden,who is right?

I have a Kentish Belle had it for 12month doing its doing well. i over wintered it in next doors conservatory so kind of them it flowered all winter long i could see it through the window. but this year i have got a green house so i'm going to try it in there fingers crossed. But before i do i would like to take some cuttings could someone tell me how to do this as i am pretty new at this game thanks.

I put it in greenhouse it looks a little worse than last year but just been reading they respond well to a good hard pruning but would like to take cuttings just in case. Can someone tell me the best way. Thanks russ.
