A long flowering beauty form Brazil, Abutilon megapotamicum Wisley Red is also known as the Trailing Abutilon. Masses of red and orange, bell-shaped blooms hang from long wiry stems, summer and autumn. Perfect for training up a wall or trellis Wisley Red tends to keep the heart-shaped foliage all year round.Not often seen growing in gardens in the UK, the flowers can be used in salads, cooked or raw, though we have never tried this.Abutilon megapotamicum Wisley Red appreciates being grown in a sheltered sunny spot, or against a south facing wall. Alternatively, this variety makes a wonderful conservatory plants during the coldest winter months and will continue to flower. Preferring to be grown in well-drained soil in sun, Abutilon will cope with partial shade and reach a height and spread of approximately 2m.
