Abutilon × milleri |
Abutilon × milleri, also known as Miller abutilon, is a hybrid species, the result of cross of A. megapotamicum and possibly A. pictum, in the family Malvaceae. It is an evergreen species of flowering plant. [1] [2] It has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit as an ornamental. [1]
Abutilon × milleri is a highly branched shrub that can grow up to 2m tall. They have 3-lobed leaves and bell-shaped flowers that are around 4cm long with yellow-orange petals. [1] [3]
They prefer to grow in weakly acidic to neutral, well-drained, loam soil under full sun. They can also be propagated with cuttings, although hardwood cuttings can only be propagated in autumn. They can tolerate temperatures as low as -10 °C. In addition, they have resistance to honey fungus. [1] [3] [4] [2]
Miller abutilon plants are popular garden plants, due to their floral display. [3]
This plant is edible. It may be eaten cooked or raw and is said to have a sweet taste. [3] [2]
