This extremely beautiful member of the mallow family is sought after by gardeners for its clusters of large saucer -shaped soft blue-purple flowers which 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, 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, and where it thrives it brightens up the garden in the summer months.
