Abutilon vitifolium plants

Description

This extremely beautiful member of the mallow family is sought after by gardeners for its clusters of large saucer -shaped soft blue-purple flowers. The flowers  are upward facing unlike other abutilons.  They can range from the occasional white form through pale to deep purple. The leaves are somewhat like a grape’s , five lobed. They are like grey felt in appearance, dull green to grey above and lighter underneath, and are downy to touch. Flowers tend to be short lived but there is a great profusion produced in the summer months.  Where  it thrives it brightens up the garden in the summer months.
