Golden Fleece is an old variety of abutilon, dating back to the 19th century (it is mentioned in a nursery catalogue of 1887 as a new introduction), bearing some resemblance to its fellow Victorian Canary Bird, but differing in having flowers of a richer, deeper shade of yellow and some purplish colouration to the stems. It is a vigorous grower and prolific bloomer, flowering for most months in the calendar year, given the right conditions.

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

We originally sourced Abutilon Golden Fleece from a French grower.
