5384 Abutilon darwinii x striatum - Fireball (yellow-red veined flower)

Large shrub 5-10 ft Full sun Semi-shade Regular water Pink flowers White/off-white flowers Red/crimson/vinous flowers Yellow/orange flowers Attracts butterflies, hummingbirds Subtropical, cold hardy at least to 30s F for a short time

Also known as A. x hybridum Fireball, and Abutilon Biltmore Ballgown, this is one of the many lovely hybrids between A. darwinii and A. striatum, with maple-like leaves and bell-flowers whose petals are recurved, turning in slightly at the bottom. Flowers are fiery red, as one would imagine, with prominent red veins accenting the surface. Happy plants can reach 8-10 ft tall, though pruning easily adjusts the size. Best with plentiful summer water and fertilizer. Less hardy than many, preferring temperatures that only occasionally drop into the 20s F, USDA zone 9. Placement out of wind with overhead protection and plentiful mulch help in less than balmy climates.
