PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Abutilon megapotamicum is native to Argentinia, Brazil and Uruguay. Abutilon Kentish Belle has been awarded the RHS Award of Garden Merit. A semi evergreen hybrid of Abutilon megapotamicum it was raised by Albert Pike the head gardener at Hever Castle, Kent. This plant is not an uncommon sight in the southern areas of the Uk. Kentish Belle has upright thin, very slightly arching stems with extended internodal growth on mature plants. 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. Hardy to around -5c it will need some protection in cold winters or makes an excellent conservatory or greenhouse subject. Overall it is an attractive plant with distinctive beautiful bell shaped flowers with a contrasting red calyx and soft apricot petals, with the veins faintly flushed red. The flowers are pendant on long stems and are produced over a long period, although later into flower than A.megapotamicum. In a conservatory that is heated they will often flower all year. Can be used in a mixed planting or as a stand alone specimen in the garden or can easily be grown in a pot or container. Definitely grows better in full sun and fertile well drained soil. If it becomes to 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 12-14 month added to the compost in early spring. One application will supply all the nutrients the plant requires for the whole year.

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!
