Abutilon Old Rose Belle sounds lovely, and it is, with open soft pink flowers with prominent veining dangling among the jagged heart shaped foliage throughout most of the year. It will remain fairly compact so makes for a good potted specimen. We believe it to be a cultivar originally developed by long-standing US nursery Logee’s, probably in the mid 20th century.

Hardy to around 0C to -5C. Sun or semi-shade. Any reasonable soil. 100 cm to 150 cm.

Abutilon Old Rose Belle is a half hardy evergreen shrub with maple like foliage and pendant soft pink bell shaped flowers in spring, summer and autumn.

Abutilon Old Rose Belle is available from Paddock Plants.
