Feuerwerk is the German for firework, and that’s what you get with this abutilon, whose open bell shaped blooms are a dramatic fiery deep red with paler veining and greenish yellow centres. It puts on quite a show, too, flowering prolifically and over a long period.

Hardy to around 0C to -5C. Sun or semi-shade. Any reasonable soil. 100 cm to 180 cm.

We originally sourced Abutilon Feuerwerk from a German grower, and we believe it to be one of their named varieties.

Abutilon Feuerwerk is a half hardy evergreen shrub with maple like foliage and pendant deep red bell shaped flowers in spring, summer and autumn.

Abutilon Feuerwerk is available from Paddock Plants.
