Canvas - Chinese Lantern (Abutilon)

from $40.00
The plant commonly known as the Chinese Lantern is a beautiful shrub belonging to the genus Abutilon, also frequently referred to as Flowering Maple due to its characteristic maple-like, lobed foliage. This tender perennial is highly valued for its striking, pendant, bell- or cup-shaped flowers that bear a strong resemblance to miniature, papery Chinese lanterns, inspiring its common name. The blooms, which can appear in vibrant shades of red, orange, yellow, pink, or white, are often produced prolifically from spring through fall, and even year-round in frost-free climates, making the Abutilon a favorite for adding a tropical flair to gardens, patios, and as a container plant or houseplant in colder regions. Its nectar-rich flowers are also a magnet for hummingbirds and butterflies.
