The Abutilon genus belongs to the Malvaceae family. It has around 150 species, but only a few are cultivated in temperate climates.
The plant thrives in rich, fresh but well-drained soils. It can be installed in the sun, but fears scorching exposure. It is best to grow your abutilon in a pot, in a cool, bright room, or an unheated veranda in winter. It's best to plant it sheltered from strong winds, but avoid confined locations.
