This beautiful ornamental shrub rarely exceeds a height of 6ft. with a similar spread.
Very free flowering it carries nodding bell or lantern shaped flowers 5.5-6.0 cm long on long stalks in summer and autumn and sometimes even into early winter.
The petals of the pale pink blooms of Pink Charm are perfectly highlighted by the deep salmon calyce.
Some growers claim to be able to keep the plant in bloom even longer by moving it to a conservatory or greenhouse in winter.
Although it will tolerate light shade Abutilon Pink Charm does best in full sun and needs a warm, well sheltered position in the garden. A south or west facing wall would be ideal.
Outstanding choice for growing in a container as a specimen plant for use in a courtyard or on the patio.
Any reasonable fertile garden soil is suitable for this Abutilon but it does need a good supply of water during the growing season.
Not a recognised climber but can be trained to grow on a trellis or against a wall.
Reputed to be a little hardier than many other Abutilons but its tolerance of cold winds and frost only goes so far and it advised that it should only be allowed to remain outside in milder regions of the U.K. and even then it still needs some winter protection.
In all other U.K. regions it is best moved to a frost free area for the winter months.
Any trimming or pruning necessary should be done immediately after flowering.

We ask all our buyers to remember plants are living items and their appearance changes with the seasons. Please don’t panic if the plant you receive looks different to the image on the website. This is quite normal and not a matter for any worry or concern, it is likely to be in perfect condition for the time of year. Particularly in autumn and winter many shrubs will lose their leaves and look rather bare, gaunt and stick-like and from August onwards many perennial plants may not even be showing above the soil.
