Abutilon x hybridum

It looks great! My large plant just died...the extreme drought and heat has done it in.

Strange - I planted one out in 2012 and the extreme cold and wet killed it!!!!!!!!

I know it doesn't like extreme cold; however, it likes a lot of water.

My plant was in the ground for at least 8 years. It was only 5' (1.5m) tall. It never really liked its spot. I had Abuliton hybridum which would grow to 10' (3.1m) tall within one year (this was in the San Francisco Bay Area).

Never grow that fast for me.

The ones I had in the SF Bay Area were rampant growers. They were so fast I could barely keep up with the pruning.

Here in San Diego it's too hot and dry. Also, the soil is not as fertile as the Bay Area.
