Abutilon ‘Gerdemann's Red’
Description:
Compact American hybrid thought to have originated in Oregon, USA. Introduced to the UK by Nick Macer of Pan Global Plants, it was sourced from Cistus Nursery. Named after the Gerdemann Botanic Preserve, this bushy evergreen shrub bears masses of small pendant tomato-red flowers from summer to autumn, with maple-like foliage and good tolerance of cool conditions and light frost.
