Abutilons have lantern-shaped flowers, often in shades of red, orange or yellow. They can be grown outdoors in a warm, sheltered location that is sheltered from cold winds and frost, or in a conservatory, where they may continue to flower through the winter.
Abutilon 'Kentish Belle' is a hybrid of the species with A. megapotamicum. It has large, yellow and crimson flowers. It is hardier than some other abutilons.
Grow Abutilon 'Kentish Belle' in moist but well-drained soil in a sunny, sheltered spot – against a sheltered south or west -facing wall is ideal. Propagate from summer cuttings, as an insurance against winter damage, especially since the shrubs can be short-lived. Trim back after flowering.
