ABUTILON PHOEBE
And now for something very special. Abutilon Phoebe is an upright, elegant and free flowering cultivar boasting flowers that are a stunning high gloss carmine red with remarkably long pointed deep russet calyces. It is an exceptional variety in anyone’s book.

We originally sourced Abutilon Phoebe via the Plant Heritage plant exchange: it is a T3 introduction developed as a sport of their cultivar Rosanna Gill.
