Abutilon 'White King'
Flowering Maple 'White King'
This 100cm tall plant is clothed with mid-green maple-like foliage and covered in masses of white bell-shaped flowers from late spring until autumn. It is an erect plant with an open habit and the leaves can be variegated. As it is frost tender, they are typically grown in conservatories or light rooms as attractive ornamental plants. They will also do fine against sunny sheltered walls outdoors provided they are not exposed to temperatures near or below freezing.

Planting as a houseplant
From Early Spring TO Late Spring
If left unrestrained, Abutilon may grow to ten feet in height and spread, so it is important to not provide too large of a planter but it should have good drainage and filled with a quality general purpose houseplant compost. Site it in a well lit position with filtered sunlight and where the daytime temperature is about 70F during the day and about 60F at night.
Planting Outdoors Spring
From Early Spring TO Early Spring
Plant outdors in spring only in regions where the night temperature does not fall below about 60F. Plant in a moist but will drained soil in a site that offers some proitection from strong winds and in dappled sunlight. Apply a generous layer of well rotted compost into the planting hole and water frequently until established.
