Striking Chinese Lantern flower

Abutilon plants are showy perennials with maple-like leaves and bell-shaped flowers. They are often called Chinese lanterns because of the papery blossoms. Another common name is flowering maple, because of the lobed leaves. Their delicate, lantern-like blooms open in spring and continue right through to autumn, profusely covering the graceful, slender branches in cheerful single and bi-coloured shades of red, orange and yellow, as well as white, pink and lilac. And when not in flower, the handsome, evergreen maple-like foliage provides the garden with year-round appeal. 5533
