Abutilon Moon Chimes holds its flowers hanging below the branches. The soft leaves of
this yellow abutilon hybrid make a lush tropical look on a dry garden diet. But in our
area a little more water than nature provides is required. The similar Abutilon Moon
Glow is a paler yellow. Abutilon Moon Chimes is tender with temperatures in the mid to
low 20's. The yellow, white, and apricot flowered abutilons all seem to have the same
foliage and branching form. They have small hairs on the leaves, the branches droop,
the flowers open only about half way. Hummingbirds feed from the Chinese Lantern flowers
by reaching in between the sepals and petals to seek out the nectaries.
