Abutilon “Flowering Maple”
Also called “Parlor Maples,” the plants’ leaves resemble the foliage from maple trees and “parlor” became popular in their name because historically abutilons were the first softer plants to be grown in chilly Victorian parlors.
Why Abutilons are So Popular!

• Vigorous, rapid growers.
• Resistant to disease.
