Flowering maple, or Abutilon, is a versatile plant with maple-like leaves and pendulous, bell-shaped flowers in shades of red, orange, yellow, pink, and white. It blooms nearly year-round in warm climates. Native to South America, Abutilon can be a houseplant, container specimen, or outdoor shrub in zones 8-10.
Bright, indirect light indoors; full sun to part shade outdoors. Keep soil evenly moist. Fertilize regularly during bloom. Pinch for bushiness. Prune hard in late winter. Many hybrids exist with varied flower colors and leaf patterns (variegated).
Excellent for hanging baskets (trailing types), standards, or mixed borders. The flowers attract hummingbirds. 'Thompsonii' has yellow-mottled leaves. Easy to propagate from cuttings.
