Know before you buy
This plant thrives in part shade, meaning it prefers bright, indirect light or a few hours of gentle morning sun. Avoid harsh, direct afternoon sun, which can scorch the delicate variegated foliage.
Yes, Abutilon ‘Savitzii’ responds very well to pruning. You can easily maintain a more compact, bushy shape by trimming back the stems throughout the growing season.
While it is a prolific bloomer, you can encourage consistent flower production by using a flower booster fertilizer during the active growing season. Ensure it receives adequate light and consistent moisture to support this energy-intensive process.
Abutilon ‘Savitzii’ is hardy in zones 8-10. If you live in a colder climate, you should treat it as a container plant and bring it indoors or into a greenhouse before the first frost.
The plant is shipped in a 4-inch pot. While the exact height can vary, it will be a young, established starter plant ready to be transplanted into a larger container or your garden bed.
