A choice exotic plant with extraordinary looks! Abutilon megapotamicum bears red and yellow lantern-shaped flowers which dangle prettily from long stalks. Each lantern unfolds like an origami parcel, revealing protruding anthers which resemble the clanger of a bell. The dainty flowers are complemented by elegant, heart-shaped, semi-evergreen leaves which clothe a framework of fine branches. The flowering season is impressively long, with blooms produced continuously from spring until autumn.

Despite its exotic looks, Abutilon megapotamicum is one of the hardiest of species Abutilons. It can be grown outdoors in coastal and mild southern parts of the UK, where it will survive down to about -10C. It is ideally grown on a warm and sheltered South-facing wall where its fine branches can be trained as an espalier. Alternatively, grow it in a patio container and bring it into the greenhouse or conservatory for the winter.

Height: 2m (79in). Spread: 1.5m (60in).

 

A choice exotic plant with extraordinary looks!

Grow in well drained, acid or neutral soil in full sun on a sheltered south facing wall in mild climates. Hardy down to about -10C. Alternatively grow in a container or as bedding, and bring inside for the winter.

Live Plants

Dobies strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.

Non Standard Deliveries

Unfortunately like many companies in our industry we are currently only able to supply orders to UK based customers, excluding those in Northern Ireland. We are committed to finding a way that we can resume or normal services again as soon as possible. Please accept our apologies for any inconvience caused.

Prices include VAT where applicable.

We reserve the right to contact you and advise an additional charge where necessary and are happy to quote for carriage of specific products to more remote areas. Some items may not be available to all areas.

We reserve the right to revise any carriage charges in the event of carrier price increase or other unforeseen circumstances. We will always advise of the carriage charge before payment is taken.

All Dobies products should reach you in perfect condition, just as they left us. If you are dissatisfied in any way with their condition on arrival, please let us know within 14 days. We are only liable for the cost of the goods as quoted on the website plus the cost of delivery if the goods are faulty.
