Abutilon x suntenseis a vigorous, soft-wood shrub with downy, vine-like leaves originating from Chile. Large petalled, saucer-shaped mauve flowers with prominent bosses of orange stamens appear from mid to late summer. It's ideal growing against a south-facing wall or fence and can also be grown in a large pot and overwintered in a conservatory or frost-free greenhouse.
To avoid dry conditions, and to ensure good soil contact around the rootball, we advise planting climbers at least 30cm (12in), and preferably 45-60cm (18-24in) away from the base of a wall or fence. An even larger distance should be maintained when planting climbers beside an existing tree or shrub.
