Abutilon 'Bartley Schwarz'

In our winter hardiness trials, Abutilon 'Bartley Schwarz' (named after the late California plantsman, although incorrectly spelled "Schwartz") has been one of our best performers. The slightly pendent branching habit of this Abutilon megapotamicum hybrid makes a 4' tall x 4' wide clump clothed with small, fuzzy green serrated leaves and adorned from early summer through fall with 1.5" wide, salmon-orange (RHS 24B), bell-shaped flowers that dangle from the outstretched woody branches. As a houseplant, this mallow relative is everblooming...just watch out for hummingbird droppings.
