Abutilon
hybridum peach * Chinese Lantern |
| The leaves
of Abutilon hybridum peach look much better when protected by a bit light of shade, though they can take full sun
near the coast. The white, yellow, and apricot varieties seem to be a bit smaller
than the red or pink. The pink is truly the largest sometimes getting more than 10'
x 10'. I usually can expect the smaller ones to be in the 6 foot range. They
are moderate in their water needs but will respond well with a fair amount. The
flowers are generally pendulous. The red opens the widest.
Hummingbirds feed from the Chinese Lantern flowers by reaching in between
the sepals and petals to seek out the nectaries.
