Abutilon

Abutilon x suntense (from cuttings) is lilac-flowered while the Abutilon vitifolium ex-white is, as it suggests, from seed and will mostly flower white, although some may be lilac. Both are medium-sized shrubs, which flower from early summer until there is frost, with felted leaves. The flowers are widely open, trumpet shaped, about 10cm across, (not the bell-type of many abutilons).
