    Found as a seedling in the late 70s at Western Hills Nursery in northern California, parentage unknown.

    A very prolific and long-blooming flowering maple. I have not had it set seed as my other variety of Abutilon does.

    Easy to grow in containers or in the ground. In zones below 8 it can be brought indoors for winter. Mine blooms during the winter indoors. It has also survived winter in pots into the low teens, against the side of the house under the deck overhang.
