Description

Apricot Flowering Maple is a variety of Abutilon that has a sensational orange tinged flower. The dangle at the end of stems in abundance are a real show to the eye. The blooms persist for months on end unlike many other flowering shrubs. For that reason, it makes a perfect focal point in the garden. It does best if grown in partial shade, with good air circulation. Its cultural requirements are the same as the parent plant- needing well draining, fertile soil in part sun or light shade. In warm inland valleys, it does best with afternoon shade.

Move turf away form sidewalks and pavement.

Instead plant shrubs or groundcovers next to the pavement, and water with low-flow drip or bubbler system to eliminate runoff from turf sprinklers
