PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Abutilons in their many forms are native to all the continents except Europe. Abutilon Ashford Red is an outstanding hybrid Abutilon. It has upright slightly arching stems with extended internodal growth on mature plants. Leaves are large and Apple green. Because of its appearance and the fact it requires a sunny south facing wall to do well, it is often incorrectly listed as a climber, which it is not. Ashford Red will survive low temperatures, but it is not frost hardy so will require protection from frost. An attractive plant with larger distinctive beautiful bell shaped flowers of a rich Strawberry red. The flowers are pendant on long stems and are produced over a long period from around June to November. An excellent summer patio or conservatory plant. In good light in a location that is heated, they will often flower all year. Easy to grow in most fertile soils and a sunny sheltered location. If it becomes too large it can easily be cut back. When growing in a pot or other container use a good quality compost. Ensure you feed regularly as a hungry plant is a poor performer. we recommend Osmocote Pro 12 to 24 month. One application will supply all the nutrients the plant will requires for a year.

Hortus Planta was bought to you in 2022. We operate from our nursery in West Sussex where all our plants are grown and from where everything we sell is dispatched. We are a small team. Our horticultural director has an impressive knowledge of plants gained over forty plus years of experience in propagation, production and customer service. Our team has 15 years of experience in online selling. We aim to use this combined expertise to bring you a desirable and interesting offer of quality plants and related products, with new items added annually.

We accept payment by PayPal and Credit / Debit cards entered on eBay only. You must be registered with PayPal or eBay to buy from us.

We ship via Royal Mail tracked 48 for our smaller items and Parcelforce Express 48 for our larger orders.

Please remember when purchasing from us that we are not a garden centre. In general garden centres sell a range of seasonal plants, that are sold for a limited period of time, when they look at their best. We are a nursery and offer you plants as near to an all year-round basis as possible. This means that at different times of year plants will not look at their best. In winter some may just be a pot of roots, in summer many will have been pruned and in autumn deciduous plants will have leaves that are dying and this will often mean they are mis-coloured and diseased, both natural ingredients of the process of decay and eventually renewal. All our plants have a one year, no quibble guarantee, from the date of order, so in the very unlikely event your poorly looking plant bought in autumn or winter (or in the case of some varieties, in summer) does not flourish in its main growing season, you are protected!
