Golden Fleece Abutilon

The Golden Fleece Abutilon, commonly known as Chinese Lantern, Flowering Maple, or Parlour Maple, features golden yellow blooms from spring through autumn which is complemented with the dark green foliage. It typically grows to 3 m tall and 2 m wide and responds well to pruning which encourages fresh, new growth. This lovely plant will grow equally well in full sun or partial shade and is tolerant of moderate frost and cool climates. However, in such environments it may become deciduous. The Golden Fleece Abutilon is commonly included in mixed plantings, used as a backdrop for smaller plants, maintained in a container, planted around outdoor living areas, or included in cottage gardens.
