$6.30The Story
A large, upright, deciduous tree-form abutilon with impressive, papery, saucer-shaped flowers in a cool lavender-white shade. Outside of flower buds are deeper purple, which contrast nicely to the paler, opened flowers sitting nearby. Foliage is maple-like and dark green; if not, fertilize with a nitrogen-rich fertilizer. Partial shade is best. Keep moist. Flowers, which appear in summer, are edible and good to eat in salads. Give it a wall for cold protection. Zone 8.
